The Head of State added that the government would help coal industry workers to explore new fields. They also plan to “seriously revise and diversify” property at efficient, inefficient and unprofitable mines.
The President said the industry needs new policies in order to “consolidate funds of business and government to boost the sector.”
Yushchenko also said it is important to liberalize coal prices. He opined that it was a “great economic mistake” [ not to liberalize prices ], for Ukrainian miners could not earn bigger salaries.
