This Green Paper, produced by the Better Regulation Delivery Office, with the support of the EU4Business FORBIZ project, seeks to identify and analyse issues related to the application of energy efficiency and energy saving tools in Ukraine, namely: enterprise energy passports, norms and standards for fuel and energy expenditure, energy efficiency audits, energy labelling, government support programmes and tax relief, etc.

The report says correct and thorough awareness of this problem will allow for a systemic approach to the reform of the state regulation system, removal of unjustified barriers, optimisation of procedures, correction of misguided or excessive regulation and implementation of best international practice.

The Better Regulation Delivery Office, together with the Ministry for Economic Development and Trade and the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine, with the support of the FORBIZ project, has launched the ProDialogue under the EU4Business initiative. It aims to involve all stakeholders in reviewing regulatory solutions and working out ways to address them. As a result, a series of Green Papers has been developed, which analyse the current state of market issues and potential ways to improve the regulatory environment. A further set of White Papers represents a consolidated product of the groundwork by the business community and expert environment in the form of practical recommendations and suggestions for the authorities in order to improve the regulatory framework.
