On January 15, 2020, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional and Urban Development supported the Draft Law concerning the introduction of amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine for creating legal grounds for establishment of agglomeration as one form of cooperation between territorial hromadas No2637 dated 19/12/2019. The Committee recommended the Parliament to pass the draft law in the first reading. “We greet registration of this graft law in the Parliament. It is awaited by the local self-government authorities of big cities and the adjacent hromadas, since they will get a mechanism for efficient settlement of joint issues. Furthermore, hromadas will decide themselves whether to use this tool or not, for the process of agglomeration establishment is voluntary”, Vyacheslav Nehoda, Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, pointed during consideration of the graft law by the Committee.
