The head of the Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) Agriculture sector Andriy Zablotskyi believes that new regulations on grain storage will greatly contribute to creating transparent and efficient rules on the market. The expert gave this comment on the initiative to establish a working group to develop regulations on storage of grain and by-products.
According to him, today the dynamic development of the Ukrainian grain market and its leading positions in world exports require changes in terms of improving the regulation on grain and by-products storage. Therefore, drafting a new regulation on grain and by-products storage that will allow to bring the system existing in Ukraine in line with the best international practices appears on the agenda.
“The main purpose of drafting the new regulation should be to introduce transparent, effective and incentive rules for the market,” Andriy Zablotskyi said and added that this regulation should solve / or simplify a range of existing issues, such as the grain classifying for export purposes, grain mixing requirements to form a commercial batch and others.
The expert noted that the Better Regulation Delivery Office has a decisive position on resolving this issue – any obstacles to the movement of grain and its by-products, which are not directly related to the compliance with an adequate safety level and protection of interests of Ukrainian producers and consumers, should be removed.
