Court binds enterprise of “Ukroboronprom” to respond to journalists request

Mykolaiv district administrative court judged the denial of state enterprise “Scientific and manufacturing complex of gas turbine construction “Zoria-Mashproekt”" to provide information on salaries and bonuses of its staff and its economic indicators (income, assets summary, turnover, etc.) to the journalist “Center of journalist investigations” Yaroslav Chepurnyi. This was reported to “Dostup do pravdy”, referring to the journalist's Facebook entry. According to the court judgment, that was published in the Unified State Register of court resolutions, the court also bound the enterprise to provide to the journalist this information. The enterprise administration was arguing that most of the requested information can be found in public sources, but the court judged that this cannot be a reason to deny to provide the information.
