Experts of the USAID MHR Project participated in the working groups of the Government and Parliament to amend laws and regulations, as well as to devel- op new normative and legal documents.

With the Project’s assistance, the Law of Ukraine “On Establishment of the Nati onal Communal Services Regulatory Commission” was draft ed and adopted. The Project has provided assis- tance to the Nati onal Commission in develop- ment of tariff methodologies and conducted trainings for the staff of the regulator and spe- cialists of the heati ng uti liti es. To ensure the eff ecti ve operati on of the regulator, the Proj- ect passed to the Nati onal Commission inter- nati onal methodologies on procedures of its acti viti es and on regulatory accounti ng, cre- ati on of informati on systems for data transfer, as well as mechanisms for public hearings. In cooperati on with Commissioners of the regulator, the USAID MHR Project helped to develop the law “On Incenti ve Regulati on Participation in round table on energy efficiency on the Basis of RAB Methodology.” As a result of cooperati on, a new Tariff Setti ng Methodology, which includes incen- ti ves for energy effi ciency, was developed and approved. With the help of the USAID MHR Project, the Nati onal Commission has devel- oped a Plan for gradual increase of tariff s to cost-recovery levels. In additi on, the Benchmarking Methodol- ogy proposed by the USAID MHR Project was used by the Nati onal Commission for collec- ti on and comparison of data on performance of the district heati ng uti liti es. With Project assistance, the Nati onal Commission and the Ministry of Social Policy have prepared a plan to improve social pro- tecti on of low-income consumers of commu- nal services.

ECE/CEP/133 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. 07.II.E.6 ISBN 978-92-1-116958-4 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) for countries in transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second “Environment for Europe” Conference in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1993. As a result, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the EPRs a part of its regular programme. Ten years later, at the fifth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers confirmed that the UNECE programme of EPRs had made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the efforts of countries with economies in transition to manage their environment. The Programme has addressed tailor-made recommendations to the Governments concerned on improving environmental management to reduce their pollution load, to better integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. The Ministers also reaffirmed their support for the EPR programme as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and they decided that the programme should proceed with a second cycle of reviews.

  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

The common tendency of mine rail haulage improvement is to increase axial power of electrical equipment traction, wagon capacity, and enhancing the speed of movement. In this context, it is typical for mine machine-building design to equip only locomotives with brake facilities. Thus, specific value of braking force of a train cannot exceed basic specific resistance to its movement. Test results of carriage rolling stock as for its braking efficiency as well as for its structural and dynamic analysis of braking mechanism have shown that a shoe-wheel brake of mine locomotives is not efficient under operation brake conditions in terms of the parametric reliability indices; hence, it is not applicable as an analogue for a trailing train part. The objective of the research is to determine a type of structural uncertainty while identifying brake conditions for adaptive control of alternative-structure tribologic system.

  • The Donbas As an Intentional Community
    THIS IS A DRAFT PAPER From Exit to Take-Over: The Evolution of the Donbas as an Intentional Community VLAD MYKHNENKO* International Policy Fellow The Central European University & Open Society Institute E-mail: [email protected] Paper for Workshop No 20. The Politics of Utopia: Intentional Communities as Social Science Microcosms The European Consortium for Political Research Joint Sessions of Workshops 13-18 April 2004 Uppsala, Sweden ABSTRACT: The Donbas – a large old industrial region in the Ukrainian-Russian Cossack borderland – constitutes a particular intentional community. According to earlier positive accounts, it was a space, the open steppe, a frontier land, a fugitive’s paradise, where the notions of and desires for freedom and dignifying labour had been realised. According to its current negative associations, the Donbas is an allegedly realised utopia of an ‘anti-modern’ community, dominated by a ‘criminal-political nexus’ of terrorising mafia gangs and political clans. The purpose of this paper is to compare the Donbas community, the evolution of intentions of its founders and of the images produced in the process of its construction, in three very different points in time – under the Russian Empire, under the Bolshevik Rule and Stalin’s Great Terror, and during the post-communist transformation. * I would like to express my gratitude here to the International Policy Fellowships, affiliated with the Central European University and Open Society Institute – Budapest, for their generous help, which has allowed me, among many other things, to work on this paper. 2 In both a geographical and symbolic sense, the Donbas constitutes a particular community, just as a nation, city, or village does.
