The report of the EU-UNDP project on parliamentary reform, prepared at the request of the Committee on Ukraine's Integration with the EU, states that in the field of energy, Ukraine has yet to implement twenty acts of the European Union in its legislation. This requires the adoption of ten bills, including on the prevention of abuse in the wholesale energy markets, on the payment of electricity transmission services for export operations, on energy infrastructure, as well as on the search, exploration and production of hydrocarbons.
The representative of the Ministry of Energy Oleksandr Tarasenko said that the Ministry continues consultations with the European Commission on the approval of bills related to energy.
In the field of environmental protection, according to the report of the EU-UNDP project on parliamentary reform, Ukraine must also implement almost two dozen acts of European Union law.
Iryna Stavchuk, Deputy Minister of Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine for European Integration, said that the Ministry of Environment expects consideration of at least three important bills in the Verkhovna Rada - in the second reading the bill on waste management, as well as the bill on prevention, reduction and control of industrial pollution, the bill on the Emerald Network and the bill on environmental control. The draft Marine Strategy has also already passed the stage of public discussion and is currently being approved. Iryna Stavchuk also informed the members of the Committee that the Ministry of Environment is working on revising the Annexes to the Association Agreement. Consultations were held with business and public organizations.
