On May, 31, 2005 in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (VRU) the draft law “On amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On banks and banking” (security of the banks’ property and their clients), registration number 3223 (hereunder referred to the draft law №3223) was defeated.
The draft law empowered banks to use firearms for the security of money, currency values which are saved directly in bank buildings as well as during the collection and delivery.
Till now there is no civilized market of the armed security services in Ukraine and the predominant position in this sphere is occupied by one structure – the State Security Service (SSS) under the auspices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (MIA). Since only the SSS has a right to use firearms in the banking institutions’ security it takes advantage of such position in its own favor. For the last 4 years the SSS presses on banks concerning the increase in the cost of their services. And not only on banks.
The President of the Association of Ukrainian Banks considers that the evident example of business growth is the current status of the SSS of the MIA of Ukraine. Since 2001 the Association of Ukrainian Banks (AUB) has been supporting the competitive base formation in the security services market taking into consideration the European experience of our neighbors.
The bankers’ concern in security field was shared by the members of the security market – the Ukrainian Federation of Non-governmental Security Services’ Workers as well as the people’s deputies of Ukraine. In 2004 the Constitution statement “On recognition of paragraph 9 of Provision on the State Security Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approved by the Edict of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine №615 of 10.08.1993 to be unconstitutional” was submitted to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine under the signatures of 50 people’s deputies of Ukraine. The substance of the statement is in ascertaining:”Is a SSS militiaman a civil servant or an entrepreneur?”
It is important that the third signature in the Constitutional statement is a signature of Minister of Internal Affairs Yuriy Lutsenko.
In the time of the previous government on March, 18 2004 a democratic draft law of the NBU №3223 was approved by 277 people’s deputies in the first reading.
Under the current government the draft law was approved only by 131 deputies.
It was not sustained by communists, faction of the National Party and socialists.
Besides, 35% deputies of “Nasha Ukraina”, 68% of BYUT (Block of Yuliya Timoshenko), 71% of Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Ukraine. The democrats have very flexible position. The actions of “Regiony” and SDPU(o) that did not vote almost  by the whole are quite understandable.
The acts of the deputies of the group “Democratic Ukraine” which approved the draft law by the whole and the faction of the Ukrainian National Party in which only three deputies did not vote inspire the respect. It is a service for principles and introduction of European values while forming the security services market.
On the whole, the voting in the Parliament demonstrates the power of the post-authoritarian machinery and political immaturity of our democrats. Let’s be attentive!

31 травня 2005 року у Верховній Раді України (ВРУ) відхилено законопроект "Про внесення змін до Закону України "Про банки та банківську діяльність" (щодо охорони майна банків та їх клієнтів), реєстраційний номер 3223 (далі – законопроект № 3223).

Законопроекту надавав банкам право використовувати вогнепальну зброю для здійснення функцій охорони грошей, валютних цінностей, які зберігаються як безпосередньо в банківських приміщеннях так і під час проведення інкасації і при їх перевезенні.

До цього часу в Україні відсутній цивілізований ринок озброєних охоронних послуг, а домінуюче становище у цій сфері займає одна структура – Державна служба охорони (ДСО) "під дахом" Міністерства внутрішніх справ України (МВС). Оскільки тільки ДСО має право на використання вогнепальної зброї у сфері охорони банківських установ, то і використовує таке своє положення на власну користь. Так, тільки за останні 4 роки ДСО щорічно тисне на банки щодо підвищення вартості своїх послуг. І не тільки на банки.

На думку Президента Асоціації українських банків, очевидним прикладом зростання бізнесу і влади є чинний статус ДСО при МВС України.
Асоціація українських банків (АУБ) з 2001 року послідовно виступає за формування в Україні конкурентних засад на ринку охоронних послуг з урахуванням європейського досвіду і досвіду наших сусідів.

Стурбованість банкірів у сфері охорони розділили учасники охоронного ринку – Українська федерація працівників недержавних служб безпеки, та підтримали і народні депутати України. У 2004 році за підписами 50-ти народних депутатів України було подане до Конституційного суду України Конституційне подання "Про визнання неконституційним пункту 9 Положення про Державну службу охорони при Міністерстві внутрішніх справ, затвердженого Постановою Кабінету Міністрів України № 615 від 10.08.1993 року". Суть подання полягає в тому, щоб з’ясувати: "міліціонер ДСО – це державний службовець чи підприємець"?

Важливим є те, що третім підписом у Конституційному поданні стоїть підпис нинішнього Міністра внутрішніх справ Юрія Луценка.

За попередньої влади, 18 березня 2004 року демократичний законопроект НБУ № 3223 у першому читанні підтримало 277 народних депутатів.

За нинішньої влади цей законопроект підтримало лише 131 депутат.
Не підтримали у повному складі комуністи, фракція Народної партії і соціалісти.

Не підтримало і 35% депутатів з "Нашої України", 68% з БЮТ, 71% з ПППУ. На диво гнучка позиція у демократів. Зрозумілою є поведінка "Регіонів" і СДПУ(о), які майже повним складом не голосували.

Викликає повагу поведінка депутатів групи "Демократична Україна", яка у повному складі підтримала законопроект, та фракції Української народної партії, в якій лише три депутати не голосували. Це є служіння принципам та впровадження європейських цінностей і при формуванні ринку охоронних послуг.

В цілому, голосування в парламенті демонструє силу поставторитарного апарату і політичну незрілість наших демократів. Будьмо уважні!
