The agenda of the meeting held by public associations of the Supreme Council Committee included both specialized and non-core issues. In April 2014 the Government proposed to the Supreme Council to adopt a new version of the law "On mass media" (current dates back to the year 2000). The law-in-draft came to the deputies of VI convocation by inheritance from the previous one. The document was discussed in parliamentary committees. The head Igor Buga expressed opinions about its contents in an interview

At the beginning of the work of the Supreme Council the members of the responsible committee reviewed initiated by the supreme executive authority law-in-draft "On Mass Media" and the above mentioned arguments offered the government to withdraw it. Time passed - the law-in-draft has not been revoked. For this reason, at today's meeting of the profile committee, members unanimously agreed to recommend the deputies to reject the government's law-in-draft "On Mass Media".

Deputies of the Supreme Council Committee on Public Associations, Sports, Information and Youth Policy supported the legislative initiative of deputies Vadim Krasnoselsky and Galina Antyufeeva aimed at a legally enforceable right for delivery to the Republic of cars not older than 15 years (the current rule - not older than 10 years). According to the legislators, it is very timely in view of the rate of decrease in the purchasing power of the population in times of crisis, a sharp fiscal deficit.
