The reports will be public before the working group in the first quarter of next year. Also Oleksandr Lomako recalled that last year, the competition between projects in terms of capital expenditures was very high, and operating costs (where cheaper projects) is low. He offered to make changes that will resolve the competition between the projects: — — - It is proposed to move away from the concepts of "current" and "capital expenditure" and to limit the projects to 300 thousand UAH and up to 1.5 million UAH. And to make the ratio of the total amount of funds 75% is directed to major projects and 25% small. This will help to equalize the competition between projects and will allow to make larger.
