Statement of Director Kopač on adoption of Third Package compliant gas law in Ukraine

“I sincerely welcome today’s adoption of the new gas market law which is in compliance with the Third Energy Package by the Ukrainian Parliament. This brings to an end an intensive process, in which the Energy Community Secretariat was strongly involved. The law was drafted by the Secretariat and submitted to the Ukrainian authorities in April 2014. The Secretariat continued to actively support the law’s adoption, starting from the technical level to presenting and defending the law in front of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Minister and Parliament. The law was adopted by an overwhelming majority of votes, notably by 290 in favour out of 422. The significance of this law is hardly explainable at this moment. Gas issues are at the centre of the Ukrainian society and politics. This law will substantially change both in a positive way. The next challenge for Ukraine will be the law’s implementation in practice. I confirm that the Secretariat’s support will not fade in this next phase.”
