Euro-2012: Donetsk builders ask for help from authorities
June, 23rd builders and architects of Donetsk regio spoke about overcoming financial and investment problems at the Council on complex building in the region within the framework of preparation for Euro-2012.
“It’s clear that under hard economic conditions when income of the population have decreased, the creditworthiness both to authority and bank structures has fallen, so without Government’s help it’s impossible to solve builders’ problems. Therefore it‘s necessary to initiate the appeal to Verkhovna Rada deputies requesting to ratify a string of bills which would help to breathe life into the branch.
The problem becomes more complicated because of the preparation for Euro-2012. It’s necessary to construct a set of objects, hotels in particular, so specific financing is required, - claimed Mikhail Derkach, Head of standing commission of Donetsk regional Council on architecture, building and reforming of housing and communal services.
According to Mr. Derkach, representatives of region’s largest building and architectural organizations participated in the Council which made it possible for participants to expand a circle of problem issues and consider different points of view in the further work.
As a result, representatives of the region’s building companies have agreed to create working group which would formulate offers concerning financial and investment climate
improvement at the region’s building sites.
 Builders are going to submit offers to region’s authorities. If Donetsk builders don’t find support over there, they’ll seek for assistance in the State government.
Earlier it was informed that Ukrainian government would allocate a billion hryvnyas for Kharkov to prepare the city to host Euro-2012.
