For gosshaht can be reduced by taxes and increased the budget - the development of the bill took over the Ministry of Coal Industry. So far, these initiatives of the Government only reduced the efficiency of the miners, but that promise benefits to Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on the eve of the second round of presidential elections, experts say.

Ministry of Coal Industry, Ministry of Economy and the National Academy of Sciences engaged in preparing a draft law "On state support (subsidies) of the coal industry - is available on Jan. 27 gave the Cabinet of Ministers, told the Coal Industry Minister Viktor Poltavets. "The Working Group has already started preparing the document," - he said. Ministry of Coal Industry proposes to introduce tax breaks for state mines and provide an annual allocation from the state budget funds not only to compensation for wages for miners, but also on the modernization of enterprises. Timeliness of document not yet defined. Economics Minister Bohdan Danylyshyn comment on the bill did not.

Gosshahtam already provided significant benefits - in January 2009, contrary to the law "On electric power", the Cabinet recommended to reduce them by 26% tariff on electricity. In January this year, another order of government released gosshahty from payments to the Pension Fund, Social Security and lifted taxes on wages. As a result, the mines have reduced capital expenditures by 30%, while their debt to all sorts of funds and local budgets, according to the Ministry of Finance, has increased 7-fold, to 3.5 billion UAH.

benefits puts private mines in unequal conditions with the state, said committee member of the Verkhovna Rada on thermal power station Michael Wolyniec. He explains that, thus violating antitrust laws. "If there is state aid, the directors of the mines disappear incentives for cost reduction, - analyst IK Alfa Capital Oleg Yuzefovich .- The coal industry in Russia, the United States and Poland - in private hands, and we import coal from these countries, because they grow mining, and we have - is falling. Wolyniec gives another example - Germany.

"In the 90 years the Government has provided benefits to all mines, regardless of ownership, then they held a large-scale privatization of industry and almost 1.5 times built up production," - he says. The actions of the same Cabinet, on the contrary, reduce investe3dor interest in state-owned mines, I am sure the Deputy Director of Economic Affairs mine Belorechenskaya Sergei Khalaj. "We and so from year to year is the outflow of investments from the coal industry. Now, we are unable to attract large multinational corporations, such as the Australian CCI, which had previously expressed an interest in coal mining in Ukraine", - noted with regret Khalaj.

Government"s initiative has a political rather than economic motives, suggests a committee member of the Verkhovna Rada on thermal power station Sergey Tulub. According to him, yet the means to modernize the mines were used inefficiently: "We have already allocated in 2005, over UAH 4 billion to modernize gosshaht. KRU Testing in 2007 showed that out of this sum was spent on the appointment of a total of about 700 million UAH . "
