The Ministry of Culture to develop criteria for banning pornography

The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine intends to set up a public board of experts on protection of public morality, which will develop the criteria for the classification of products to the pornography, reports the Ministry's press service.

This was decided at a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the heads of national creative unions, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Finance and the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting.

Law "On Protection of Public Morality" prohibits the production and turnover of any form of production of a pornographic nature in Ukraine. The criteria for classifying products for being pornographic are required by law to be established by the Ministry of Culture.

February 10, 2015, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Protection of Public Morality "(concerning state supervision)," which provided for the liquidation of the National Expert Commission for the Protection of Public Morality (NEC) as a public authority. On March 3, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed the law.
