On 11 February 2016, a Council of Europe expert met with the Verkovna Rada Parliamentary Committee on Legal Assistance and Law Enforcement to discuss possible avenues of civic involvement in fight against corruption. The meeting is a follow-up to previous Council of Europe Expert Opinion on legislative amendments introducing the concept of "civil prosecution". The "civil prosecution" legislative amendments were returned to Verkhovna Rada by the President due to a number of deficiencies identified in the Council of Europe Expert Opinion.
