SAI Ukraine summary 4
Accounting Chamber of Ukraine
Report on performance audit results of state budget funds use allocated in
2013-2014 for environment protection during construction, maintenance and
renovation motor roads for general use
Audit was conducted during March-June 2015.
Audit object: Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, State
Ecologic Inspection of Ukraine, State Agency for Motor Roads of Ukraine, Public
Enterprise “Ukrainian Road Investments “Ukrdorinvest”, Public Enterprise “State
Road Scientific Institute named after M.Shulgin”, Services of Motor Roads in
Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Poltava, Kharkiv Regions.
Main outcomes: the audit showed that environmental policy is insufficiently
integrated in the road sector of Ukraine.
Mechanisms for execution of the legal requirements for the implementation of
environmental protection measures and compliance with environmental legislation
during the construction, reconstruction and maintenance of public motor roads
require additional legal and organizational support of the Cabinet of Ministers of
Ukraine and the State Agency for Motor Roads of Ukraine.
During the past 10 years due to lack of clear government policy on the
environmental protection during construction, repair and maintenance of public
roads, volumes of environmental measures decreased. The audit found that most of
the environmental measures are implemented during road maintenance in the
framework of annual landscaping actions, rather than on a planned basis.
Failure to follow designed decisions during the construction and reconstruction of
roads leads to increased costs for their maintenance, including the adoption of
additional environmental protection measures, and their improper use - to increase
of the repair costs, which adversely affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the
use of the state budget funds.
However, the lack of full control over the observance of environmental legislation
during the design and commissioning of objects has negative consequences for
society and for the country as a whole.
