The Radical Party team will not give up the moratorium on the export of untreated timber from Ukraine.
This was stated by the leader of the RPL Oleg Lyashko, being on the production site of the international company Ferplast in Zhitomir.
The company specializes in the production of zooproducts - collars, feed, toys, in particular, collects and wooden houses for animals. Wood purchases only with a certificate of restoration of the forest, the press service of the Radical Party.
"Your enterprise is an example of why it is not possible to cancel a moratorium on the export of roundwood. Thanks to his actions, you have raw materials for manufacturing products, and in half a thousand people - work and salary, about 5000 UAH. And when in unprocessed form the forest is taken abroad, they create jobs there, and here in Zhytomyr region, where 80% of the forests, people are sitting without work. Our forest wants - let them create jobs, put new equipment, bring raw materials and produce finished products in Ukraine, as it is done in this Zhytomyr enterprise, "Lyashko said..
The politician is convinced that from the abolition of the moratorium on the export of timber Ukraine will lose the confidence of investors.
"The government now wants to cancel the moratorium on the export of roundwood, because the European Commission has placed such a condition for the provision of 600 million euros of credit. Removal of untreated timber abroad means not only stealing jobs from Ukrainians, but also losing foreign investors.
They invested their money, brought in new equipment, and tomorrow they were told that the rules of the game were changing. It's unfair to both investors and Ukrainians, "he said..
Lyashko admitted that he himself very much loves animals, so the enterprises that make zooproducts, cause him deep respect.
"In relation to our lesser brothers, the level of civilized society is measured. I myself have 6 dogs, so I promise you that they will walk in your collars, "Lyashko said..
