On June 12, 2009 the Draft Law on Public Service Broadcasting was considered by the Parliament of Ukraine but it doesn’t meet with the members of Parliament support.  As a result of voting only 202 members of Parliament promoted the Draft Law which is to say that the Draft Law is excluded from consideration. That is the second failure of the Draft Law on PublicServiceBroadcasting since 2005. MP Andriy Shevchenko who registered the Draft already stated that he will rework the draft and will register it in Parliament in autumn.

Also Media Law Institute cooperated with the President and the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The the Security and Defense Council had internal meeting in July on information security. PSB was one of the topics there. Taras Shevchenko participated in the meeting and had a speech on PSB in Ukraine. The formal meeting of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine headed by the President of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko was scheduled several times during summer, participation of the MLI representative was planned as well. It was rescheduled due to changes in Presidents plans and finally took place on September 12.
