Minister for temporarily occupied territories supports abolition of law on Crimea free economic zone
The Ukrainian minister for temporarily occupied territories and internally displaced persons, Vadym Chernysh, believes the law on the establishment of the Crimea free economic zone should be abolished because at this stage it is not necessary.
"My position as a minister, and I have already expressed it at several government meetings, is as follows: the law on the Crimea free economic zone should be abolished. There is no need for it now. Probably, when the law was adopted, there was no clear understanding how industry, businesses will work there. But today it is already clear it is not necessary. All the more it controls not only economic relations but also, let's say, private matters of citizens," he said in an interview with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia. Ukraine weekly.
According to him, the ministry is preparing a draft resolution for consideration by the Cabinet of Ministers, held working group meetings on the subject to discuss the positions of other ministries.
The law of Ukraine on the creation of the Crimea free economic zone and the peculiarities of economic activity in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine came into force in September 2014.
