Ukraine is the absolute leader among European states in terms of the number of submitted bills, the Committee of Voters of Ukraine. Thus, on average, in one year, Ukrainian MPs initiate 1,800. draft laws. For comparison, the Norwegian parliamentarians on average initiate 5 bills per year, Switzerland - 6, Greece - 13, Austria - 46, Great Britain - 66, Iceland - 71, Denmark - 74, Portugal - 115, Belgium - 227, Finland - 257, France - 337, Italy - 644. That is, people's deputies of Ukraine initiate 300 times more bills than the parliamentarians of Norway and Switzerland, 140 times more than Greece, 39 times more than Austria, 25 times more than Britain, Iceland and Denmark;.

15 times more than in Portugal; 8 times more than Belgium and Finland; 5 times more than France and three times more than in Italy. In general, the parliament of the VIII convocation remains the record among Ukrainian parliaments by the number of registered bills. Thus, in the BP registered 10.7 thousand. bills.

KIA notes that too many bills significantly complicate the work of the parliament and does not contribute to the proper work of the Verkhovna Rada. At the same time, only a small part of the draft laws become laws (12% in the VIII convocation). In addition, legislative initiatives of People's Deputies are often substandard. So, every second bill receives negative conclusions from the Main Scientific and Expert Board of the Parliament, every third - the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.

KIA recommends limiting the right of legislative initiative to individual people's deputies. It is necessary to provide that the right of legislative initiative has people's deputies in the number not less than the number of the smallest fraction. This would contribute to a better work of people's deputies and would reduce the number of potential "legislative spam".
