The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation, Alexander Merezhko, said that the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada on the establishment of an investment fund of reconstruction does not provide for ratification or automatic approval by the Parliament of the Limited Partnership Agreement or any other agreements that will be concluded in the future.
Alexander Merezhko, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter -Parliamentary Cooperation, explained how ratification will take place.
“The new version of the Law on ratification of the Agreement states that the Council ratifies only an agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the United States Government on the creation of the US-Ukrainian Investment Fund for Reconstruction, and does not mean ratification or automatic approval by the Parliament of other agreements or documents. That is, we currently have the text of this one agreement – only we consider it, vote and ratify it, ”he said.
Other agreements or documents may be mentioned in the text, but that does not mean that the Verkhovna Rada also consent to them, and has added a network.
“The text may mention dozens of other agreements, but it does not have legal importance. We do not consent to any of them. They are not legally binding as a result of mention or presence in the text. Moreover, we can not always know whether these documents exist at all. They may still be at the stage of negotiations or have not been decorated at all, ”the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee said.
At the same time, he stated that it is unknown what status mentioned in the bill may have in the future – “whether they will become international treaties, whether they will remain at the level of politically binding agreements that are not subject to ratification.”
During the committee meeting, representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers said that two additional documents to the subsoil agreement may be signed as international economic contracts that are not subject to ratification by parliament, not international treaties.
“I do not exclude that the parties may agree in the future to conclude another international agreement that will already be ratified. But there is no such agreement at this time, ”the network summed up.
We will remind, on April 30 Ukraine and the United States of America signed an agreement on economic cooperation (“Natural Agreement”). The first Viceremier-Minister-Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Sviridenko and US Department of Finance Scott Scott Bessent made their signatures.
On May 1, the Cabinet of Ministers registered in the Supreme Devote a project “On ratification of the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the United States of America on the creation of the US-Ukrainian Investment Fund of Reconstruction”.
On May 6, the Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter -Parliamentary Cooperation recommended the Verkhovna Rada to ratify an agreement on the establishment of an investment fund between Ukraine and the United States.
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on International Policy supported the transfer to the deputies of the ratification agreement on minerals between Ukraine and the United States.
According to Shmigal, the US-Ukrainian investment fund will be registered in the United States. Only the first part of the agreement will be ratified in the Verkhovna Rada.
