On Tuesday, April 23, the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy called on the authorities to keep the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine in its current format. This was reported by UNN with reference to the committee's statement.
Details
At its meeting, the Committee supported the decision of the MPs of Ukraine - members of the Committee - to appeal to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal to preserve the existing Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
In the context of Russia's unjustified and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine and the ongoing war, it is necessary to ensure the effective functioning of state institutions, in particular the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine
It is noted that Ukraine is an agrarian country, and agriculture and the food sector are vital to ensuring economic recovery.
In addition, the committee members emphasized that Ukraine has committed itself to the European Union membership, which will require Ukrainian legislation to fully comply with EU legislation in the field of agriculture.
The full functioning of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine is extremely important for the agrarian business and the public community, as it is the Ministry that shapes agricultural policy, ensures the functioning of the agricultural sector in wartime and is responsible for the country's food security
Context
Recently, the media reported that the Cabinet of Ministers plans to merge the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food with the Ministry of Economy as part of the reform.
It is likely that the functions of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy will be transferred to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine
