A decade after the 2016 constitutional amendments on justice, and pending the entry into force of this law, the prosecution service continues to supervise compliance with the law in the enforcement of court decisions in criminal cases and in the application of other coercive measures involving restrictions on personal liberty (this function is no longer provided for in Article 131-1 of the Constitution of Ukraine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the draft law provides for the exclusion of Article 26 of the Law on the Prosecutor\u2019s Office, which concerns prosecutors\u2019 powers to supervise compliance with the law in the enforcement of court decisions in criminal cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the proposed new wording of Article 25-1 of the Law on the Prosecutor\u2019s Office would empower prosecutors, alongside their procedural supervision of pre-trial investigations, to act in relation to \u201cother matters arising in the course of criminal proceedings\u201d. The powers proposed in the draft law largely replicate those currently exercised by prosecutors under Article 26 of the Law: visiting places of detention, communicating with detainees, obtaining documents, materials, explanations, and enforcement case files, and applying to court. The draft law would also introduce an open-ended clause allowing prosecutors to \u201cexercise other powers provided for by law\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retaining such powers for prosecutors after the law enters into force would be inconsistent with the Constitution of Ukraine. Moreover, in relation to \u201cother matters arising in the course of criminal proceedings\u201d, prosecutors already have the powers provided for by the Criminal Procedure Code and the Law on Operational Search Activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If adopted, the law would introduce a lengthy transitional period \u2014 12 months from the date of publication \u2014 allowing time for the necessary regulatory, organisational, and financial measures to be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Government_Updates_Timelines_for_Implementing_EU_Integration_Commitments_in_the_Rule_of_Law_Area\"><\/span><strong>The Government Updates Timelines for Implementing EU Integration Commitments in the Rule of Law Area<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Event<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 11 June, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kmu.gov.ua\/news\/uriad-onovyv-plan-ukrainy-v-mezhakh-ukraine-facility-dlia-zaluchennia-835-mlrd-ievro-dodatkovoi-pidtrymky\">introduced<\/a> significant amendments to the Ukraine Facility Plan, which provides for EU funding for Ukraine for 2024\u20132027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amendments update the content and implementation timelines of 35 existing commitments and introduce 26 new commitments. Many of the new measures concern the rule of law and anti-corruption area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amendments to the Ukraine Facility implementation plan were prompted by the conclusion and ratification of the <a href=\"https:\/\/zakon.rada.gov.ua\/laws\/show\/4892-IX#Text\">Agreement<\/a> between the EU and Ukraine on a reparations loan of 27 May 2026.
