\u201cResearch and analytical system 007\u201d is an online service that provides open access to data pertinent to public finance. Civil society may now use this system to oversee how state agencies use their money.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kyiv, August 10, 2016.<\/strong> According to the laws \u201cOn access to public information\u201d and \u201cOn openness of use of public money,\u201d state-owned companies and other public asset holders are obliged to report on the official web site for public finance \u201cE-Data\u201d.<\/p>\n

How does the \u201cResearch and analytical system 007\u201d work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cResearch and analytical system 007\u201d was created as part of the E-governance for Accountability and Participation (EGAP) program funded by the Swiss Confederation and implemented by the East Europe Foundation and other partners. The web site started operating in April 2016 and is visited by 300 users daily.<\/p>\n

At a press-briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center, Natalia Kravchenko, Director of the project \u201cResearch and analytical system 007\u201d noted: \u201cOur service uses information from various sources: E-Data web site, data.gov.ua, web site of the State Service of Statistics, as well as ProZorro e-procurement system. By combining these registries, we enrich open data and achieve decreasing levels of corruption by increasing transparency,\u201d she explained. The user may filter the information by region, town, particular agency, or item paid (product or service).<\/p>\n

Each asset holder has an individual dossier that contains the data provided by the holder itself as well as the information from other registries that regard this agency. \u201cWe have combined monitoring of rendering public the information by a state agency with a chance to see individual transactions of this agency that were made through Ukraine\u2019s Treasury Service,\u201d noted Kravchenko. This data is presented in four dimensions: pertaining to the entirety of Ukraine, per regions, districts, as well as per legal entities.<\/p>\n

What the novelty is about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom now on by using the \u2018Monitoring\u2019 option in the main menu, each citizen is able to see whether a particular institution complies with the law on openness of the use of public finance: if the profile (cabinet) was set up on E-Data portal and if it is being filled with information,\u201d said Kravchenko.<\/p>\n

The new module offered by the online system introduces a brand new function: an opportunity to file a complaint to respective state bodies stipulated by law, in case the asset holder does not publicize the data. \u201cIf a citizen sees a violation, it is possible to file a claim and submit it to the respective authority in almost one click. It is going to stimulate people to engage more actively in the monitoring of public expenses and make the work of central-level authorities and of local self-government more transparent,\u201d said Viktor Lyakh, president of the East Europe Foundation. A fine is given for not rendering the information public or for publicizing untrue, incomplete or inexact information. The fine is quite large; however, experts expect that the complaints will keep the problem on the agenda.<\/p>\n

Civil society controls where the state has no instruments<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to lawyer Artem Borymsky, current legislation does not designate an agency that would monitor public information; so, discovering de-facto violations depends on civic actors only.<\/p>\n

According to Lyakh, the project team plans to hold training for media and activists on how to use the web site\u2019s tools. \u201cWe would also like to provide an opportunity for civil society organizations and activists to develop the platforms that would allow adjusting the data to peculiarities of a certain region or a target group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
