Oleh Lyashko and a group of MPs registered a bill in the Ukrainian Parliament amending certain Ukrainian laws to restrict scrap metal exports. Bill No. 3868 was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada on February 2, 2016, and aims to reduce the shortage of ferrous scrap metal in Ukraine's domestic market.
The media does not yet have access to the text of the new bill, but it is known that it was submitted by an initiative group of parliamentarians led by Oleh Lyashko. The bill's co-authors include Mykola Tomenko, Oleksandr Kirsh, and Viktor Halasyuk. Maxim Efimov, Mikhail Khmil, Petr Vanat, Yuri Solovey, Victor Vovk, Gennady Krivosheya, Leonid Kozachenko, Yuri Chizhmar, Maxim Kuryachy, Victor Krivenko, Borislav Rosenblat and Oles Dovgy.
It was previously reported that our country's metallurgical plants were experiencing a severe shortage of scrap metal. In 2015, one of the giants, Interpipe Steel, was shut down for 65 days due to a shortage of raw materials.
The ferrous scrap metal deficit in Ukraine's domestic market in 2015 amounted to 855 tons, accounting for 22% of total demand. Experts cite the export of scrap metal abroad as the main cause of the shortage.
