Deputy Prime Minister Borys Kolesnykov on Sept. 8 told investors at a forum in Poland that Ukraine's government would protect foreign investors. The Ukrainian government will do everything possible to achieve the consolidation of investors' rights, Vice Prime Minister Borys Kolesnikov said in an interview after the opening of the 20th Economic Forum in Krynica Zdrój (Poland).

"The government has done everything possible to achieve economic liberalization. Now we only need parliament's trust and the president's signature. Further, we will consolidate investors' rights to make European investors feel comfortable in Ukraine. This is our task," Kolesnikov's press service cited him as saying.

The vice premier also noted that Ukraine has drawn up one of the most liberal Tax Codes in Europe. He said that associations from all economic sectors of Ukraine participated in public discussions about this document.

According to Kolesnikov, Ukraine will guarantee investors' rights, in particular, rights to the inviolability of private property.

"Ukraine is open to investment. Everything will depend on work with investors in the real sector," Kolesnikov said.
