Hot Issues

We would like to inform you that on January 27^th, 2010 the Cabinet of Ministers (CM) adopted the Resolution # 51 “On Amendments to the Provision on Purchases of Goods, Works and Services with the State Funds” providing certain changes to the CM Resolution # 921 dated October 17^th, 2008.

Within the introduced changes, the following amendment was made in the paragraph 6.

"Purchase of goods, works and services is conducted from the national producers or their representatives, dealers, distributors, and in case, when goods, works and services are not produced (not conducted, not provided) on the territory of Ukraine, — the purchase is done from producers of goods, works or service providers — non-residents or their representatives, dealers, distributors".

At the latest Meeting of the Chamber Healthcare Committee on January 26, 2010 a joint Committee Members’ position regarding the ban of state purchases from intermediaries was discussed. Thus, with amendments being introduced, the Chamber welcomes the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
