sixth attempt of privatization of the Odessa port plant (IPF), by definition, could not be boring. Too large enterprise is at stake and too much government for elections need money.
plant - not only the second in the Ukrainian producer of ammonia and urea, but also owns a terminal for transshipment of liquefied ammonia to the court. Here he is a monopolist.
terminal is extremely interesting as Russia's parties (he completes international ammonia from Togliatti), and our chemists. The share of IPF accounts for half of Ukrainian exports and 20% ammonia - urea.
And yet such frank passions did not expect. The country already accustomed to public neglect of the Government of President, and extremely flexible attitude of our authorities to the law, in general, also not a secret ... And competition for a particular party - not news. But all together and in a few days looks pretty wildly.
For a start it turned out that the 13 applicants who applied to the Antimonopoly Committee of permissions for the contest itself applied for all three. This Russia OOO Nitrogen-Service, the Ukrainian OOO Nortima (Igor Kolomoisky) and OOO Frunze Flora (Konstantin Grigorishin). Funny, but the last specialization - the cultivation and sale of vegetables, houseplants, ornamental horticulture, as well as the provision of gardening beds.
Now she is to participate in the contest, where the starting price of the object - 4 billion UAH., and within five years, the investor should invest 1,3 billion UAH. in the development of production plus 92 million UAH. - In environmental programs. Under the latter may fail and landscaping.
According to unofficial information, the Russians of Nitrogen-Service almost immediately made a pledge of 400 million UAH. (10% of the starting price).
the other hand, does not appear Expected favorite - an international consortium specifically created to participate in the privatization of the Odessa port plant. It includes Yara International (Norway), a world leader in the production of fertilizers, Polish Kulczyk Holding SA and the Libyan Libyan Investment Authority. But to enter the Ukrainian market, he never became ...
But immediately there were some lawsuits. Some, as promised, filed Valentina Semeniuk-Samsonenko, others - Cherkassy Azot Alexander Yaroslavsky and DneprAzot, friendly group Privat. As a result of Kyiv District Administrative Court suspended the sale tender for 99.6% of the shares.
lawyers DneprAzot found just two clues. The plant was not carried out a qualitative environmental assessment (adoption of SPF that it be heldfor eight days, looks really funny). But the main thing - tolerance Nitrogen-Service is contrary to the privatization legislation of Ukraine.
According to paragraph 3 of Article 8 of the Law of Ukraine On privatization of state property, the buyers of privatization objects can not be legal persons, whose property share of state ownership exceeds 25%.
Meanwhile, nitrogen-Service - a subsidiary of Sibur Holding, which is owned by Gazprom subsidiary Gazprombank and its pension fund Gazfond.
In
Russia's gas monopoly controlling the public is. So in general, the authorized capital of Sibur-Holding and controlled by him Nitrogen-Service share of government property, estimated to exceed 30%.
claim is serious. As noted in the statement of claim, the fact of a possible privatization sales of state property of Ukraine in favor of the structure, in the authorized capital of which a substantial proportion of government property, contrary to the logic of the process of denationalization of property. Moreover, as a foreign state, it is usually in this case is attached, and an intergovernmental agreement. Or is it still there, but ... on a personal level?
By the way, filed a lawsuit in court Cherkassy Azot later he withdrew due zapolitizirovannosti issue. While Yaroslavsky said that he is still interested in participating in the competition for the privatization of IPF.
Even more interesting was the reaction of the State Property Fund. Instead of the expected explanation and defense of his position ... he tried to hide.
It looked very funny. Click to continue »
