“The exchange of information takes place in line with the law and is intended to assist the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine to provide the Supreme Court with specialists who have no corruption past,” reads a report.
On September 30, 2016, the judicial reform was launched in Ukraine after amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine came into force with regard to the judicial power and the law "On Judicial System and the Status of Judges".
