24 million UAH is planned to be allocated from the State Budget for the construction of mine No. 10 in Novovolynsk, the press service of People's Deputy Serhiy Slabenko reported. This sum is envisaged by the budget program "State support for the construction and technical re-equipment of enterprises for the extraction of hard coal and peat." At the expense of these funds, it will be possible to continue the construction of the first-phase facilities of the launch complex of the new building. Financing of the construction of mine No. 10 is proceeding quite rhythmically: in the first quarter of 2004, 4.2 million UAH was received, 1.7 million UAH in the second - according to the monthly schedule of expenditures. "Since last year the state managed to allocate more than 11 million UAH for the construction of this facility and considers it expedient to finance the construction in the future, I believe that the constant publicizing of problems with the construction of this facility at session meetings of the Verkhovna Rada and a number of meetings with officials of the Ministry of Fuel and Energy have had their positive effect," notes People's Deputy of Ukraine Serhiy Slabenko. "Rhythmic financing of mine No. 10 is a matter of principle for me, on which the socio-economic development of the region as a whole depends."
