“The modernization of industry, which has not happened in Ukraine so far, will take place this time. We are talking about the modernization of large-scale industry, any, not just thermal power plants. But do not believe someone who says that it is possible to reform according to our agreements and European experience only for a year. No. The transition to a modernized industry will take place within 10-12 years, “the president said.
He also announced the adoption by parliament of decisions that provide for the introduction of “green” taxes for industry.
“Parliament must pass a complex law that provides for many different taxes: on iron ore and the like. And there is a very important tax – on emissions, on carbon dioxide,” he said.
Zelensky noted that Ukraine has a bad environmental situation due to the fact that enterprises have not switched to European emission standards.
“These are all the steps that I consider a reform: industrial modernization and high taxes on emissions,” the president summed up.
Note that during the forum Zelensky signed two environmental laws: on the ban on plastic bags and on the preservation and restoration of forests.
