In Ukraine, the domestic consumption of cement is considerably lower than at the European level, and 3/4 enterprises in the market are unprofitable. The share of counterfeit cement in the Ukrainian market is 60%, and with the termination of the system of mandatory product certification on January 1, 2018, concerns about the quality of products will increase. The current legislation does not provide effective mechanisms for market supervision and consumer protection.
What regulatory changes are required for effective control of the cement market? How to ensure the European quality of construction materials and protect consumers from dangerous products? How to reduce the number of unprofitable enterprises in the market and introduce modern technologies in construction?
The government and business will try together to find answers and ways to solving problems during the round table “European quality of Ukrainian cement: risk factors” on November 14, 2017.
The event will be attended by:
- Hennady Zubko, Vice Prime Minister – Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities of Ukraine
- Berend de Groot, Head of EU Cooperation programs
- Maksim Nefyodov, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine
- Kseniya Lyapina, Head of the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine
- Lev Partskhaladze, Deputy Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities of Ukraine
- Pavlo Kachur, Head of the Association of Cement Manufacturers “Ukrcement”
- Oleksiy Kudryavtsev, Head of the State Architectural and Construction Inspection of Ukraine
- Oleksiy Honcharuk, Head of BRDO
- Olena Shulyak, Construction Sector Head, BRDO.
BRDO experts conducted a rolling review of the quality of market regulation, the results of which are presented in an analytical study – the Green Paper “Artificial Construction Materials: Cement” that will be discussed during the roundtable. Details – at www.regulation.gov.ua.
Join the dialogue! The results will be used as the basis to develop particular legislative changes in the market.
