20 January 09:58
The Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine (MinStrategProm) has updated the criteria for determining enterprises that are important for the national economy, Komersant ukrainskyi reports.
The updated criteria define which enterprises can be given the opportunity to book military personnel.
This can be done in the amount of more than 50% (for executors of state defense contracts) or up to 50% (for other enterprises of strategic importance).
The decision on the compliance of the enterprise with these criteria is made by a working group formed by the Ministry of Strategic Industry, which includes representatives of the interested state authorities.
It is noted that the Ministry of Strategic Industries is not directly involved in booking employees, but only determines the criteria and analyzes the documents submitted by the enterprise, institution and organization for compliance with these criteria.
Criteria for booking more than 50% of employees
This category covers enterprises that:
- Execute state contracts or contracts for the manufacture, repair or disposal of weapons, military equipment, ammunition. Contracts may be financed by the state budget or other sources permitted by Ukrainian legislation.
- Received state financial support in the form of grants for innovative developments for defense purposes.
- Manage state-owned facilities, ensuring coordination of defense industry processes.
- The volume of defense production for such enterprises must exceed 50% of the total production for the last reporting period.
