The fight against corruption was a central element of our enlargement package, which defines our overall position on this issue. Let me emphasize that the fight against corruption is key for the country&#8217;s accession to the European Union. This requires continued efforts to guarantee a strong capacity to fight corruption and respect the rule of law,&#8221; said European Commission spokesman Guillaume Mercier.<\/p>\n<p> According to him, the European Commission will continue to closely monitor the situation and support the work of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that on the morning of November 28, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/nabu-i-sap-provodiat-obshuky-u-kerivnyka-op-andriia-yermaka\/\">NABU detectives, together with SAPO prosecutors, were conducting investigative actions in the government quarter<\/a> , where the office of the head of the President&#8217;s Office, Andriy Yermak, is located.<\/p>\n<p> We will remind, the head of the President&#8217;s Office, Andriy <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/yermak-fihuruie-na-plivkakh-mindicha-nardep\/\">Yermak, also appears on the &#8220;Mindich tapes&#8221; released by NABU as part of the investigation into corruption in the energy sector.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> The day before, Fedir Venislavsky, a member of parliament from the Servant of the People faction and former representative of the president in the Verkhovna Rada and the Constitutional Court, believes that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/yermak-maie-pity-u-vidstavku-sered-sluh-narodu-zriie-bunt\/\">the head of the OP, Andriy Yermak, should be fired.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> By the way, the head of the President&#8217;s Office, Andriy <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/yermak-dav-pidkontrolnym-sylovykam-zavdannia-znyshchyty-nabu-ta-sap-bohuslavets\/\">Yermak, gave the security forces under his control the task of destroying the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Commission commented on the searches by Ukraine&#8217;s anti-corruption authorities at the offices of the head of the President&#8217;s Office, Andriy Yermak, stressing the importance of fighting corruption.
