A new director is being sought for the state-owned enterprise Ukrspirt.

ukrspirtFirst Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Yaroslav Krasnopolsky announced that the position of General Director has been eliminated at the state-owned enterprise Ukrspirt and replaced with the position of Director. It was also announced that, in pursuance of the Prime Minister's order "to optimize the operations of state-owned enterprises and eradicate corruption schemes," a competition has been announced for the position of Head of the State Enterprise Ukrspirt.

Krasnopolsky also reported that the commission will accept applications from applicants within 30 calendar days. Qualification requirements for education and experience have been established. The commission will then review the applicants' proposals within 20 calendar days. The winner of the competition will be announced at an open commission meeting. Subsequently, based on the commission's decision, the relevant contract will be concluded.

Vladimir Kolomiets, a partner at Pedersen & Partners, stated that the majority of the commission members are not government officials, so the selection process will be impartial and objective.

Other enterprises under the Ministry of Agrarian Policy's jurisdiction have also announced competitive selection for managerial positions.

As a reminder, former Ukrspirt CEO Mykhailo Labutin is wanted. He is suspected of embezzling UAH 172,500,000 from the company and evading UAH 28,200,000 in value-added tax.

State Enterprise "Ukrspirt" is the largest monopoly in the country. The industry unites 75 distilleries. In 2013, the company's turnover amounted to over 2 billion hryvnias. Until 2011, distilleries were divided among local oligarchs, governors, and members of parliament. Those who could secure the appointment of their director profited from them. With the arrival of Viktor Yanukovych, a reorganization of the industry began. Individual distilleries were liquidated and consolidated under the umbrella of a single monopoly – State Enterprise "Ukrspirt."
