With this agreement, signed in the presence of Oleksander MAZURCHAK – Vice-Minister for Housing and Communal Services, during a meeting between Ukrainian and Belarussian cities, the Energie-Cités Network and the Association Energy Efficient Cities of Ukraine have decided to reinforce their cooperation.

The energy situation in Ukraine is a crucial question: the economy in general and the buildings in particular were conceived on the basis of a low energy price. This period is over.

Some municipalities want to be one step forward and therefore wish to benefit from the experience of the European Union. Several cities like Ivano-Frankivsk have already participated in the Display® Campaign and Lviv has recently decided to commit as well.

The signatories, Gérard Magnin for Energie-Cités and Anatoly Kopets for EECU intend to associate whenever possible the EECU network and Cities of Ukraine to European projects, in particular those that imply New Member states of the EU, such as MODEL.
