Problem

The main reason why administrators of government aid provide aid to business entities that is illegal and has a negative impact on competition is the lack of statutory liability for providing government aid without prior notification of the relevant authority (the Antimonopoly Committee). As a result, new government aid in respect of which the administrators do not submit the relevant notifications to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine remains outside the scope of control and is illegal.
In the absence of state control, such government aid can be provided in cases when it is not really needed, provided in excessive amounts, or provided on a discriminatory basis that denies access to government aid to business entities that actually need it. Such circumstances create conditions provoking managers and other officials of government aid administrators to commit corruption or corruption-related offenses.
