Dear Volodymyr Oleksandrovych!

Dear Denys Anatoliyovych!

Dear Yulia Anatoliivna!

Dear Sergey Mikhailovich!

The Ukrainian Business Council - Association 124 Business associations, who represent interests over 27 Thousands of enterprises of different sectors of the economy, created to consolidate business and implement socially important reforms for the country's sustainable economic development, - expresses your respect and addresses the situation around the competitive selection of the Director of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine (Beb).

For a long time, Ukrainian business insisted on creating a single law enforcement agency to counteract economic crime, Which would at the same time protect the virtuous business from the excessive pressure of state law enforcement. That is why creating in 2019 year of Bab as an analytical and at the same time a law enforcement agency was perceived with great support. However, four years of Beb functioning, Unfortunately, demonstrated a deep discrepancy between the initial concept of creating an organ and its actual activity. That is why the business community actively supported the Baba reform initiated by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the process of restarting it, By laying great hopes for the formation of a new leadership of the body on the basis of transparency, virtue and professionalism. The key key to the transparency of the competition was the involvement of international experts in the competition commission with a decisive voice when making a decision on the winner. This gave business hope for real upgrade and qualitative changes in the activities of Bab.

HoweverCMU decision from 7 July 2025 The year about the rejection of the candidate elected by the competition commission for the post of director Bab is seriously concerned in the business environment because, the competition and independence of the competition. This position of the government creates a dangerous precedent and undermines confidence in the very idea of ​​transparent and independent competitions in the positions of heads of key state institutions. Of particular concern is the fact, that the grounds for rejection of the candidacy remain opaque, And the use of national security arguments without releasing the relevant materials looks like an instrument of administrative and political intervention and an attempt to maintain informal control over the activities.

We draw your attention, that in accordance with P. 26 Annex I “Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policy” with the International Monetary Fund, The Ukrainian authorities pledged to appoint a new Bab's director within the end of the end of February 2025 year, that is a structural beacon, a 21.03.2025 y. As a result of failure to comply with the period was postponed to July 2025 year. Compliance with these obligations is critical as to obtain financial support for international partners, Extremely necessary in the conditions of a full -scale war, and to maintain confidence in Ukraine as a state, that consistently implements reforms. Fulfilling partners' obligations is an indispensable part of a successful strategy and an important factor in achieving long -term goals.

In this regard, the Ukrainian Business Council calls on the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine:

  • to ensure maximum transparency of the final decision on the results of the competition on the head of the Beb, in particular - to publish documents, which became the basis for rejecting the candidate of the winner;
  • Confirm dedication to Ukraine's international obligations and openness principles, virtue and impartiality and preventing their violation during competitions;
  • comply with Law No. 3840-IX and ensure the appointment, selected by the commission in a transparent way, no later than the end of July 2025 year.

Sincerely,

Business associations

An open letter to the President from Ukrainian food producers

Jul 15 2021 published under Uncategorized, DOCUMENTS, earnings, news

Dear Mr. President!

On behalf of Ukrainian food producers products address you publicly, because we have already exhausted all possibilities to convince the Ukrainian Government of the need to respond to the threatening situation in the sugar market.

Today, sugar prices in Ukraine are almost doubled higher, than on the London Stock Exchange. As of 29 June 2021 year the cost of sugar white (without VAT) LIFFE FOB (London Stock Exchange) was 432,3 $/t, and the proposal in Ukraine (without VAT) – 781.2 $/t.

Ukrainian processors live in such a reality already 10 months. During this time, the price of white sugar in Ukraine is constant exceeded world prices by 30-40%.

And it's not about global trends of rising prices on agricultural raw materials. Otherwise, the price of sugar in Ukraine would have risen, but would be maintained at world prices.

CAUSES

The described price disparities can be explained by three reasons. This is either a cartel conspiracy, or sugar deficiency, or a combination of the two the first reasons. We do not rule out, that the third variant is observed at us.

The first reason. 5 April 2021 of the Antimonopoly year the committee of Ukraine started a case against several sugar companies based on indications anticompetitive concerted actions on the market of primary sale of white sugar. The AMCU sees, that these companies by similar actions restricted competition in the market and were able to raise prices above the competitive level. hope, that the AMCU will put an end to this question. However, antitrust investigations sometimes take longer year, and sugar is needed by the population, and industry today.
