A slowing of the adoption of the law “On electricity market” will be for Ukraine a number of negative consequences, including the delay in allocation of 600 million euros third tranche of macro-financial assistance of the European Union. This was announced by first Secretary of representation of EU in Ukraine Jose Manuel Hernandez.

“The law is a mandatory condition of release of the 3rd tranche of macro-financial assistance in the amount of 600 million euros,” said Hernandez.

He also noted that, in the absence of this law and its by-laws from foreign investors will remain doubts about the transparency of financial flows in the Ukrainian energy sector.
