The bill (Reg. No. 0190) amends the Framework Agreement
between Ukraine and the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development on Chornobyl Ukryttia
Foundation in Ukraine,
increasing the donation of Ukraine
from USD 50 million to
USD 104, 163 million.
Ratification of the Agreement supports implementation of the international commitments of Ukraine, and encourages other donor countries to make extra donations to the Chornobyl Ukryttia Foundation.
Under Chapter 1 of the Framework Agreement, Ukraine undertook an obligation to donate to the Chornobyl Ukryttia Foundation in the sum total USD 50 million (6,51% of the primary cost estimate of the Action Plan on Ukryttia facilities USD 768 million).
The Committee members stated that the Action Plan had been developed and adopted in 1997 on the grounds of the then assessments of Ukryttia facilities and its transformation into an environmentally safe system.
The Committee members believe that assignment of an extra donation of Ukraine in the Framework Agreement will meet the international commitments of Ukraine, and encourage other donor countries to make extra donations.
