Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has proposed to the president and the parliamentary collation to appoint head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to accelerate reforms and improve the antimonopoly policy in the country.
“The antimonopoly policy in the country is one of the tasks. We should jointly with the president and parliamentary coalition to decide on the top managers of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine,” he said at a meeting of the National Council for Reforms on Feb. 3.
He took Ukraine’s 185th position in connection to power grids in the World Bank’s Doing Business Report 2015 published last week as an example of the absence of the adequate antimonopoly policy, while in general the country managed to climb 16 positions, to 96th.
“We are at the tail end, as monopoly dictates its rules,” Yatsenyuk said.
As reported, the parliament in late March 2014 dismissed Vasyl Tsushko from the post of Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine chairman.
