Managing Partner of Cai&Lenard
Konstantin Pilkov provided comments to the leading mass media for events, that have
resonated in the Ukrainian society.
Inter
TV-channel asked Mr. Pilkov’s opinion on the legality of the
initiative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to limit drivers licenses’
validity term and the correspondence of a such abridgement to European
practice. "In general, the restriction of driving licenses’ validity term
meets the European practice. However, when it comes to approaching to the
recognized standards, then, for example, for categories of passenger cars such
norm is 10 or 15 years, not five, as originally suggested by the Ministry.
Under the conditions of corruption in the sphere of issuing permits, five year
period of validity will have rather negative results ", - noted Konstantin
Pilkov.
Konstantin
Pilkov also provided expert comment to News Channel
"24" relative to the legality of using images and data of the public
figures and their families, as well as videos of them without their permission.
The Advocate emphasized that national legislation on information points
out information about the high officials and elected officials, providing the
public access to such information. According to Mr. Pilkov it is not
surprisingly that data of the declarations of income of family members of the
public figures may not be confidential. By contrast, upon every other point, in
particular, the right to prohibit the use of their images, family members of
high-level officials are protected on a par with other citizens.
