Ukrainian economy is recovering after the crisis and the ten-dency for economic growth is becoming evident according to the IMF Mission Chief in Ukraine Athanasios Arvanitis
Indeed the mission sees that Ukraine has made a consider-able progress said Athanasios Arvanitis at his meeting with the Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov
We appreciate the establishment of financial stability in Ukraine however one should keep in mind that last year was very difficult Now the banking system is regaining confidence Also the inflow of deposits into Ukrainian banks starts to grow again stated the head of the IMF Staff Mission in Ukraine
Mykola Azarov highlighted that the head of the IMF Mission in Ukraine positively regarded the social and economic develop-ment in Ukraine in 2010
During the meeting with the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Athanasios Arvanitis stressed that Ukraine had success-fully implemented most of the requirements according to the Stand-By Arrangement The head of the IMF Mission in Ukraine also stated that thanks to the mutual efforts of the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ukrainian government it became pos-sible to bring the inflation rate down to less than 10 per cent
Earlier in the course of the Yalta Forum organized by Yalta Eu-ropean Strategy the Head of the International Monetary Fund
Dominique Strauss-Kahn mentioned that Ukrainian economy has returned to the right path and among others the IMF is to thank
However the Prime Minister of Ukraine mentioned that we (Ukraine) are experiencing serious difficulties because of the uncertainty in the global market The plans we have made to-gether with the IMF primarily concerning the economic devel-opment can become a subject to change in case domestic mar-ket fails to function at an expected pace
The International Monetary Fund approved a 2 12-year $152 billion SBA loan program for Ukraine in July 2010 Respectfully Ukraine undertook a number of steps aimed at reforming the country to bring more financial stability

On June 1st 2010 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted Law ldquoOn Personal Data Protectionrdquo The Law came into effect on January 1st 2011
Law formation and adoption is based on mutual agreement signed between European Union and Ukraine called ldquoCoop-eration Matrixrdquo One of the conditions accordingly is Ukrainersquos obligation to validate and implement convention on personal data protection Thereby Ukraine has made yet another step on its way to becoming democratic and European country
However some provisions of the given Law leave representa-tives of the effected business spheres asking questions be-cause these provisions are inadvisable hardly implementable and barely controllable
The Law foresees creation of Specialized Authority vesting controlling and supervising powers in personal data protection issues So call-centers banks insurance companies marketing agencies list broking agencies and other companies in some or other way connected with personal data basically get new category of state inspecting services with almost unlimited powers Such Specialized Authority was created in December 2010 Currently it consists of one person ndash its Head
The Law also provides creation of the State Register of person-al data lists The owners of Personal Databases (PDB) would have to register obligatorily in the stated register all used andor stored PDBs Moreover PDB owners would have to inform the Authority every time when administrator processing aims location etc of such PDBs change Obviously that implemen-tation of such provision law is extremely difficult There are many complications and peculiarities for example registration application form applicant one should state information about DB administrator and its location (eg hosting place) law cre-ators didnrsquot take to account the fact that often DB owner or administrator doesnrsquot know exact location of the host Moreo-ver if personal data base is part of the web site change of the hosting provider will automatically make data base owner inform authorized organ about such change
While discussing this issue representatives of different branch associations agreed that the existence of the law regulating activities connected with personal data use and protection is very important At the same time entrepreneurs and lawyers
noted that with the present law wording its provision being non-transparent and different interpretation possibilities it will be quite difficult to reach specified goals According to the lawyer Eveniy Zakharov one of the main law disadvantages is absence of personal data division at least into two groups ldquoThe first group is personal data of general character which could be distributed without personal data owner permission Namely name surname patronymic date of birth nationality etchellip The second group is sensitive data health state personal life credit history taxation real estate etc Non-division on such groups makes some of the law provision simply meaninglessrdquo
Another essential disadvantages of the law is imprecise de-termination of the ldquodata baserdquo itself ldquoAlmost everyone has electronic address book According to the law such books are considered to be personal data and they have to be registered in corresponding registerrdquo reported Mr Zaharov
According to Valentin Kalashnik President of Ukrainian Asso-ciation of Direct Marketing and founder of Public Initiative ldquoFor personal data protection legislation harmonizationrdquo such law uncertainty could lead to abuses by the bureaucrats ldquoWe are talking about additional cost and additional excuses to raise funds As an entrepreneur I am interested in no intervening in my business life but at the same time I am also interested in fair play rulesrdquo underlined Mr Kalashnik
The entrepreneurs reported that their expert group had de-veloped proposals on Law improvement and are ready to pro-vide their elaborations to the authorities
