    In the near future the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities plans to consolidate and submit for consideration a number of draft laws and legal acts promoting the reform of decentralization in education, health, social protection sectors, administrative services, simplification for small and medium businesses. Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities of Ukraine Hennadii Zubko announced.

    "On commission of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Regional Development held a working meeting with members of other ministries, central authorities, research institutes and the public. On the outcomes of the discussion, our colleagues will send to the Ministry of Regional Development their proposals, which we are to consolidate to harmonize with a single vision of reform", - said Hennadii Zubko.

    According to the official, without changes to the Constitution it is impossible to complete the reform process, but an example of fiscal decentralization proves that these processes can be parallel. According to the Minister, the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities will collect the proposals from other ministries and departments during the week. "Our goal is to expedite this work, as there are certain agencies that, frankly speaking, linger with implementation of the decentralization reform", said Hennadii Zubko.

    It should be noted that the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities of Ukraine supervises the process of implementation of the decentralization reform in the country.

    Last week the Ministry of Regional Development together with the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre announced the launch of the transformation the land management system and opening a recruitment competition to fill senior positions in the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre.
