Ukraine

Due to the current revision of a Ukrainian law on legislation adopted in 2023, some parliamentarians and lawyers led by the Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament, Mr. Denys Maslov, visited Berlin from 4 to 9 November 2024 to find out about the legislative process in Germany.

After an initial visit to the Federal Ministry of Justice, including a technical discussion on legal formalities, the delegation visited the Bundesrat to find out about its role in the German legislative process. This was followed by further meetings in the Bundestag, including with representatives of the Committee on Internal Affairs and board members of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group.

The delegation immediately incorporated the knowledge gained from the exchange into the revision of the draft, with the technical support of an IRZ expert. Due to the great interest of the Ukrainian partners in training further members of the judiciary in the German legislative process, the IRZ is seeking to continue the exchange in 2025.
