By the end of 2005, the Volyn Regional State Administration hopes to certify the activities of the region's executive authorities in the field of providing administrative services according to the international quality standard ISO 9001. This was stated by the governor of Volyn, member of the council of the "People's Union "Our Ukraine" party, Volodymyr Bondar. According to him, he addressed President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko with a corresponding request and proposal to recognize Volyn as a "pilot" region in implementing a quality management system in the activities of executive authorities and local self-government. "In the case of successful implementation of the project to introduce a quality management system in executive authorities, Volyn will become an example for all of Ukraine," believes V. Bondar. As reported by NSHU, preparations for certification are being conducted in parallel at the level of the regional and district state administrations. First of all, readiness for it will be assessed by Ukrainian auditors, after which foreign specialists will determine whether the quality of administrative service provision meets international requirements.
