1. Municipality is in favour of encouraging filming in the country and has established, within the Economic Development Department, the GSK production whose object is to assist filmmakers in their dealings with the local bureaucracy - whether at local, provincial or national government level.

2. The law applicable in Ukraine is more liberal than in other countries. It does not restrict filming in public places except where the use of the road or other public place concerned is disrupted by filming activity - provided that the rights of the individual under the constitution and the common law are respected . Filming or other behaviour which violates the rights of the public to use the roads and other public places without the appropriate closure and, in certain cases, contract is subject to criminal and sometimes civil sanctions.

Should there be a potential disruption of, for example, traffic in a public road, closure of the public place concerned by the Municipality for filming can be achieved under the law.

Filming on municipal premises, certain closed public places and private property is largely governed by a contract between the filmmaker and the municipality or other person with the relevant right in the property.

3. The Municipality is a complex organism and the closures and hirings required may, for example, require communication with Departments such as Traffic and Transport, Metro Police, Parks, Recreation, Beaches and the like.

The Municipality thus believes that collaboration and effective communication between the governments and their departments to support filming activity is vital for the provision of an efficient and effective service, which develops and maintains sound relationships between the film industry, the city, the province, national department operating in the city, business, tourists and residents of affected areas. This role will be performed by the GSK production and filmmakers are encouraged to work in collaboration with this office when operating in the metro.

4. The Municipality is a public authority and will not grant any closure and, where applicable, application to hire, unless the applicant's application is accompanied by evidence of adequate public liability insurance. Film applications using the services of stunt performers are further required to provide evidence of appropriate specialised risk, blanket liability or work cover insurance.

5. Whether the Municipality will order any closure depends on the potential impact of the activity on the amenity of residents, business and traffic.

6. The timeframe for closures and the like correlates to both the intended location and the potential impact of the administrative action. Thus:-
     a. For public places in strip shopping centres, other commercial areas and high density residential areas and public places under the jurisdiction of other governments, a           minimum of seven days is desirable.
     b. For public places in low impact residential areas a minimum of seventy-two hours in advance may be effective but preferably at least forty-eight hours in advance is           desirable.

7. A seven day notice must be given for reserved parking requests. Maps indicating the location and number of parking spaces required by the filmmaker must be stipulated
