The adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of bill No. 2319a-d will allow to start
the #privatization of large enterprises in the first half of this year, the
Ministry of Economic Development and Trade has reported.
"The adopted law protects the national interests of Ukraine and allows
to start privatization in the first half of the year," the press service
said citing senior adviser to the minister Adomas Audickas.
The ministry said the bill abolishes the mandatory sale through the
exchange of 5-10% in enterprises prior to privatization, bans individuals and
legal entities from the aggressor country from participating in privatization,
allows the government to involve advisors in privatization, expands
requirements for the disclosure of information on potential buyers and allows
to settle disputes concerning the objects of privatization in the international
court of arbitration.
As reported, the Verkhovna Rada has passed a law that would allow the
government to begin the privatization of large state-owned enterprises.
Some 252 deputies voted for the adoption of bill No. 2319a-d as a whole.
Bill No. 2319a-d was developed by the deputies to replace similar bill No.
2319a developed by the Cabinet.
The Verkhovna Rada has been trying to pass this bill since November 2015.
Minister of Economic Development and Trade Aivaras Abromavicius has repeatedly
stated the need for the adoption of this law.
The government planned to start privatization of large enterprises with
Odesa port-side chemical plant, as well as put energy supply companies and
energy generating company Centrenergo up for privatization.
