Kyiv, 4 December 2015 – The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine introduced the Open Data Service on the official website in its efforts to enable e-Parliament.

Kyiv, 15 September – The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine launched the eData Portal to disclose government spending at all levels.

When you check your smartphone in the morning trying to figure out if you need an umbrella or a heavy coat that day, or use your GPS navigator to avoid traffic jams, or look for directions on user-generated Open Street Map, you are relying on open data. A new law adopted by the parliament will make open data even more ubiquitous and accessible, making the lives of millions of Ukrainians easier.
