Draft Amendments to the Procedure for Disposing of Geological Information
A Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine ("Draft Resolution") posted on the website of the State Geology and Subsoil Service ("Derzhgeonadra") proposes to introduce amendments to the existing Regulations Concerning the Procedure for Disposing of Geological Information, approved by Resolution No. 423 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 13 June 1995 (the "Regulations"). Although the proposed amendments are brief, if adopted they may have serious negative effect on the investment projects in the area of study, exploration and productions of natural resources.

The new Law "On Amendments to Selected Legislative Acts of Ukraine Concerning Execution of Production Sharing Agreements ("PSA Amendments Law") was recently signed by the President and is expected to take effect soon, introducing a number of important amendments into the PSA Law and a few other laws. The PSA Amendments Law accumulates a long “Wish List” of various improvements proposed in the past few years by the investment and legal community, including by our firm, as well as amendments needed for the Government of Ukraine ("GOU") to move forward on the three PSAs currently under negotiations (Olesska, Yuzivska and Skyphska).

During 2003-2004, we contributed materials and comments to the draft Report of the
Energy Charter Secretariat on Regulation of International Natural Gas Transportation
(Country Report Ukraine), which is an integral part of the "Regulation of
International Natural Gas Transportation" project of the Energy Charter Secretariat.
The draft Report presented an analysis of the legal regime for natural gas transportation
in Ukraine and identified legal barriers to natural gas transit across Ukrainian territory.
The analysis of the legal regime was based on a comparative study, in which relevant
domestic law was compared to international rights and obligations in the field of natural
gas transportation.

The Report was published on the Energy Charter Secretariat's Web site in 2004 at: http://www.encharter.org
