The implementation of a unified emergency aid system in Ukraine will be partially financed by the European Investment Bank.
President Vladimir Zelensky as part of the implementation of the emergency assistance system 112,
signed an order on the formation of a Ukrainian delegation to participate in negotiations with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to conclude a financial agreement for the implementation of the project “Digital Emergency Response Services in Ukraine”. This was announced on Friday, December 20, on the website of the Office of the President.
The delegation for negotiations with the European Investment Bank to conclude a financial agreement “Digital Emergency Response Services in Ukraine” was led by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Leonid Timchenko. He is authorized to sign an agreement with the EIB.
The delegation also included representatives of the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice and Department of EU and NATO (MFA). But through this order, the head of the delegation is allowed to make changes in the composition of the delegation.
It should be noted that the 112 emergency response system will unite the police, ambulance, fire department and emergency gas service in Ukraine.
It is known that service 112 has been operating in Dnipro since July of this year. Also, a “Single Window” for reporting emergencies through the number 112 works in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Lviv, Cherkassy and Chernihiv regions.
Its introduction throughout the country is one of the conditions for the state’s entry into the EU.
Earlier, EIB Group President Nadia Calviño and European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni, in the presence of Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko, announced the availability of EU investments in the amount of EUR 52 million to support the implementation of the European emergency assistance system for the population in Ukraine through the same telephone number 112.
We remind you that the European Investment Bank (EIB) has allocated more than 60 million euros in loans under EU guarantees for the restoration of the MO1 road section and public transport investments in Kyiv, Odessa and Sumy .
It was previously reported that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will allocate 300 million euros to update the fleet of dual-power electric locomotives.
