In his
interview to journalists during his visit to Kyiv region President Victor Yushchenko
stressed that privatization of Odessa Port Plant should embrace only the
chemical plant located there excluding the port’s infrastructure itself.
His
position Victor Yushchenko explained by the fact that privatization of port
infrastructure is prohibited by the Ukrainian legislation. “Privatization of
the chemical factory is exclusively Government’s jurisdiction… When it comes to
sea port infrastructure – this question is regulated by the law that prohibits
in the case privatization of facilities of such a type”, - he said.
