This White Paper, produced by the Better Regulation Delivery Office, with the support of the EU4Business FORBIZ project, is the product of a thorough analysis of market issues based on a previous Green Paper. It was compiled from May to July 2017 involving public consultations with representatives of government, business, and the public, taking into account the positions of all market participants.
The White Paper presents the concept of regulatory reform in the industry, a list of necessary steps for its implementation by the Parliament, the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Energy, the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities, etc. The document also contains a number of proposals for empowering consumers, creating a competitive environment in the market and increasing the efficiency of the sector.
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.
