"We`ll build a competitive country!" - Chairman of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine Dmytro Oliynyk is assured
13.06.2020Dmytro Oliynyk Chairman of the Federation of Employers of
Ukraine
Ludwick the 4th said: "The state is me." So, if every Ukrainian realized
that the state was him, we would have
had a rich and competitive country for a long time already.
And I am calm for members of our Federation. I am proud that
among the members of the FEU there are many manufacturers such as
"Electron".
My dream is that domestic cars (PJSC Eurocar / CJSC
Eurocar), buses, trams, trolleybuses, electric buses (Electron Corporation,
Bogdan Corporation, Etalon Corporation) drive through the streets of Ukrainian
cities, our agricultural machinery is in the fields (Lozova cars - Lozova
Machinery, UPEC Industrial Group, Elvorti, Belotserkovmaz, KhTZ Kharkov Tractor
Plant, TOV "Kobzarenka Plant", Egritech, Variant Agro Build),
domestic electric locomotives and wagons
( Kryukivsky car-building plant, Dneprovagonmash OJSC, Azovmash factory, Aurum
Group) run by rail, our utility vehicles (
Specbudmash, "UkrInnMash” corporation) –
production of municipal, road and
vehicles of special purpose serve the streets of our cities, Ruslans and
Mriyas (Antonov Company), Mi-2, Mi-8,
Mi-2 (SC Motor-Sich SC SC motor-Sich) soar into the sky.
And when such a day comes, I `ll be able to say with a
confidence that we have finally started to build a competitive country.
I am sure that it will be built by those who REALLY fight for
a dignified life of Ukrainians, who REALLY create jobs - highly qualified and
highly productive, those who develop the technical and industrial potential of
Ukraine and make the greatest contribution to the competitiveness of Ukraine!
People like Yuriy Bubes - Chairman of the Board of "Electron” Concern deserve the title of Heroes.
He does what is extremely important for our industry - he
implements its own large-scale targeted program to localize the production of
transport.
"Electron” produced the first Ukrainian electric bus. The
company`s trams win international tenders.
The buyers from
Germany, Eastern Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and other Latin American
countries, Turkey, China and Japan are interested in "Electron”.
"Karat” SPE, a member of the corporation, cooperates with
the European Center for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Its products were used
to create the Large Andron Collider.
We see that the products of "Electron” are needed all over
the globe, from Switzerland to Brazil. But, unfortunately, there is no prophet
in his homeland.
Each of our producers wants the state to show finally its
genuine interest in the development of domestic business, ECA to take up finally its responsibilities. That
public procurement did not support importers, but stimulated job creation,
payment of taxes to the budget and took into account the degree of
localization.
I hope that in the near future the Government, the Verkhovna
Rada and the President of Ukraine will support the FRU's proposals for state
policy aimed at building a modern, economically developed, innovative
industrial country, and create conditions for Ukrainian factories that provide
jobs for Ukrainians and some of them - over 100 years.
