The Association appealed to the Parliamentary Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine

These appeals of the Association are dictated by the fact that the current legislation of Ukraine does not provide for a clear definition of the sources of funding for emergency services.

For example, part two of Article 29 of the Mining Law of Ukraine specifies that state paramilitary rescue services (formations) are financed, among other things, at the expense of mining enterprises.

At the same time, the provision of Article 23(sixteen) of the Civil Protection Code of Ukraine does not explicitly provide for the financing of emergency rescue services by all mining companies without exception, but only by those that create emergency rescue services.

Therefore, it is necessary to amend the Ukrainian legislation accordingly by bringing the provision of the Mining Law of Ukraine on financing emergency rescue services in line with the requirements of Article 23 of the Civil Protection Code of Ukraine with a clear definition of the sources of funding, since the Civil Protection Code of Ukraine is the main regulatory act governing relations connected with the protection of the population, territories, environment and property from emergencies, fires and other dangerous events, and response to such events.

In accordance with part one of Article 5 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Committees of the Parliament of Ukraine’ and paragraph 3 of Resolution of the Parliament of Ukraine No. 19-IX of 29 August 2019 ‘On the List, Quantitative Composition and Terms of Reference of the Committees of the Parliament of Ukraine of the Ninth Convocation’, the terms of reference of the committees of the Parliament of Ukraine of the ninth convocation, including the Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management, were approved, in particular, environmental safety, prevention and elimination of the consequences of natural disasters, man-made accidents and catastrophes, and the activities of the state emergency services.
