Ukraine believes that the consortium should be created on a parity basis by Ukraine, Germany and Russia. However, this consortium should not be based on the existing gas transportation system in Ukraine, and such an option would be inexpedient and would not be in Ukraine's national interests. Instead, a new gas pipeline should be built, Ivchenko noted. He added that calculations required for laying a new gas pipeline had already been made, and such a pipeline would allow the transportation of approximately 30bn cubic meters of gas a year via Ukraine. In Ivchenko's opinion, this project's implementation could be quite fast, provided that all three parties in the consortium show the political will required in connection with this. The gas pipeline's construction would cost EUR800m and would take 2.5 to 3 years. Financing within the bounds of a new agreement between Deutsche Bank and Naftogaz Ukrainy could be used for this project.

Last Thursday discussion about mandatory number of parking places per apartment took place at the meeting of Kiev City Counsel. On one hand it is desirable to have two parking places per apartment (there is no mandatory requirements at the moment), Sideway parking became a serious problem of Kiev's streets that has to be resolved. On another hand, construction cost of 1 sq.m is $300 in remote districts of the City, and much more in the Center. Taking in consideration that one parking spot requires about 30 sq.m of total parking area, price of underground parking is significant. At the moment parking places mostly are sold to the apartment buyers as a part of the property. Mayor Omelchenko mentioned that City should find the way to encourage builders to rent parking to apartment owners. A Committee for further investigation of possible solutions of the parking problem was formed.
