The article provides a deep analysis of the issues related to the implementation of the parliamentary reform in Ukraine. It is highlighted the different aspects of this reform, i.e.: legislative capacity and legislative process within the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine); political oversight of the executive; openness, transparency and accountability of the Parliament to citizens; approximating Ukrainian legislation to the European Union acquis; administrative capacities of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Secretariat; coalition, opposition and dialogue within the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine; respecting ethical norms and standards etc.
It is justified that this reform is extremely important for ensuring further modernization of the activity of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine) and its Secretariat, increasing its effectiveness and public trust to the work of the Parliament and its members, promoting the dialogue with the citizens, improving the decision-making process etc. At the same time, it is noted that this reform represents a key stone for further realization of the European integration policy which is defined a key priority by the Government of Ukraine.
