Ukraine's Minister of Infrastructure Andriy Pyvovarsky has set a task for the parliament to solve the issue of privatization of state infrastructure assets as one of the conditions for his further work at the post.

"The issue of mass privatization is critical for me in the sense that the state receives no benefits from state-owned enterprises - corrupt officials that "have stuck" to the cash flow receive profit. And then they fight with me using this money. They say if to hold privatization, these corrupt officials will buy the companies. I say – let it be! But let them pay money to the state for the assets, because now they use the objects for free, the state receives nothing, and they "pump money out." Let them pay for the assets and do business rather than be engaged in corruption!" he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

According to him, if these persons pay for the assets, they will have a different approach to fixed assets, and if they want to use machines for scrap, they will first think what the role of the machine in the production line is.

"The next issue is the reform of tax administration. I cannot meet again with exporters, importers, businesses and listen about taxes. At the last meeting with the participation of the prime minister 95% of the questions concerned taxes and the customs. It is necessary to make all the necessary decisions. There are mechanisms, other countries have passed this. Once again we come to the conclusion that if this is not resolved I will not be successful - that's all," the minister said.
