Arseniy Yatsenyuk urged MPs to adopt a bill on heat supply and housing, enabling to obtain international assistance worth USD 800 million

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to members of the Parliament of Ukraine at today's session to adopt bill No. 2670 on improvement of legislation in heat supply and housing sphere, which will enable to obtain USD 500 million from the World Bank and USD 300 million as a macro-financial assistance from the government of Japan. He announced during An Hour of Questions to the Government in the Verkhovna Rada on Friday, April 24.

On behalf of the Cabinet of Ministers the Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the adoption by the coalition of parliamentary factions of a number of government bills.

At the same time he reminded that yesterday's session of the Verkhovna Rada resulted into a failure to approve bill No. 2670 – on improvement of legislation in heat supply, housing and communal services sphere.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk urged MPs to adopt the bill at today's meeting: "Today is the last day we have an opportunity to receive $ 500 million from the World Bank and $ 300 million as a macro-financial assistance from Japan - it is crucial."

"Unfortunately, this law hasn’t been voted for three times by Parliament. Failure to vote for this bill means minus 800 million dollars to the Ukrainian economy to create new jobs. I call on Parliament’s members to reconsider this issue and vote for this bill efficiently," - said the Head of Government.
