the privatization of funeral services will help to overcome corruption in the cemeteries to escape the humiliation of relatives and make funeral arrangements worthy of a European country. number of funerals at the cemetery of Kiev in the last year has decreased by half, but not because the number of deaths declined citizens (Statistics in the capital kills 120-130 people per day, of which two-thirds - officially registered Kievites). Just because Ð¿Ð¾Ð´Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð¶Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ disposal services are increasingly using the services of the city crematorium, who works with a maximum load, or bring the dead to the rural cemetery. Capital City Council undertook a veiled delegating authority for disposal to private entities, in fact, is now carrying out the functions Spetskombinata PKBO (ritual service, the administration of municipal cemetery) and the utility the Kiev crematorium. The result - the unjustified price increases while reducing the quality of service, crowding out the market multiple businesses, previously employed in this field. They can not compete with private companies, close to the leadership of the city , - told the expert the head of the interim commission on investigation into violations of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, taking unlawful decisions of officials of the Kiev city council and its executive organ, the People's Deputy Kirill Kulikov. Given that the capital daily 60-80 graves, but the most modest funeral costs киевлÑнину at least seven or eight thousand hryvnia (cremation is cheaper), the benefits of establishing such a monopoly are obvious. have no place The main problem ritual business - lack of sites. The country is dying for a year about 760 thousand people, which requires annual increases in the area of churchyard at three thousand hectares. Today, the shortage of land for burial is an insurmountable problem for local governments, as almost all areas around cities are already in private ownership, and the construction of crematoria in power there is no money. In total the country has three old crematorium, not long ago the relevant environmental standards: in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa (for example, in the Czech Republic in the population of eight million of them are 27). Medical waste pathoanatomical we are not burned, and in violation of health standards bury in the ground. Deficit sites - fertile ground for corruption. This is no secret, even the mayor of capital Leonid Chernovetskiy. Recently, at a January meeting Kyiv, he openly stated that the size of a bribe for providing a place at the city cemetery can reach up to 50 thousand dollars. An illustrative example is not long in coming. Podolsk management June 15, police detained in Kiev, head of one of the cemeteries in the area when he took a bribe in the amount of five thousand dollars for a space reservation for burial. It is therefore not surprising that today the city do not bury the Heroes of USSR and Ukraine, the participants in the fighting, Afghans and Chernobyl, as required by law, but mostly those who have money or respect. According to the market of ritual services, with the coming to power in the City Hall team Chernovetsky virtually ceased to harmonize the application of well-deserved places people at the municipal cemetery. Such authorization previously signed Head funeral services Kyivska gorgosadministratsii (KSCA). Now, new places for graves in cemeteries within the capital allocated only on the basis of signing the mayor or his Deputy. However, corruption and a shortage of places in the cemeteries - the problem is not just Kiev. According to the International Association of Professional Affairs of the funeral, a similar situation exists in all major cities. In Gorlovka (Donetsk Oblast), according to funeral director of The Chapel Yuri Puntusova, directing the ritual of deliberately depriving the company, which has long worked in the funeral. It happened six months ago, after the change of management utilities. Before the funeral business in the city has about a dozen companies. And now, the municipal enterprise put their representatives to the city morgue, and converts the orders themselves, and one private organization, has recently appeared on the market - says Puntus. Who is the owner of the cemetery According to the former head of Sovskim cemetery Oleg Bolgova, urban management purposefully bankrupt ritual service of the capital. Previously, along with private companies a full range of funeral services to provide citizens Spetskombinat PKBO. He ordered the products and services from three rite utilities, subordinate to the General Directorate of ritual services to the Kyiv City State Administration, while earning enough money to maintain the cemetery in order. municipal enterprise for processing non-metallic building materials made tombstones, coffins and other ritual symbols, repair and construction work carried out in the churchyard municipal enterprise FS RBU, and transportation provided ATP number 2737. Oleg Bolgov argues that the new director Spetskombinata PKBO Igor Matvienko this scheme broke down, and the place of utilities, with their low prices and discounts for beneficiaries, were private enterprises related to Chernovetsky. Coffins andwreaths company is Requiem, the monuments - Santa Maria. Cemeteries Infrastructure (roads, walls, buildings, etc.) repair of private company Monolith, Arbalit and Nafta, and transportation and maintenance of the dead relatives of exercises Ltd. Rafto companies. Until recently, the funeral services at Kiev's cemeteries have five private companies that previously signed with the leadership Spetskombinata PKBO contract for the right to conduct the funeral. Now offers a comprehensive range of services Rafto-Company - Plant it at the end of last year handed over its entire staff digger of graves, though before they were employees of public enterprises. Accordingly, the money for this service from spetspredpriyatiya potekli in private firms, and in February Kyivska gorgosadministratsiya raised tariffs on digging graves and funeral services in almost ten times. Moreover, signing with Rafto companies' contracts without competitive bidding, management Spetskombinata PKBO planted its agents in the head offices of all metropolitan cemeteries, in fact, giving them control of the company. In fact, it is looking, which is now all the team and reduced the role of heads of cemeteries in the technical functions: they have to sign these documents. This company uses for its enrichment facilities and equipment, includes the territory of cemeteries, their property, which is strictly prohibited by law , - stressed Bolgov. According to him, the officers Rafto companies installed in the cemeteries of their orders. They decide what sites to allow installers of the territory, show visitors where, what and how much you pay. In this approach, the work can only imagine how much money is carried out officially, but how much is held in cash. firmly convinced Oleg Bolgova, funeral service in Kiev to prepare a sale of shares, either to privatization, which is not permitted by law. But it has been almost a roundabout way. Soon spetskombinat declare bankruptcy, as a private company, which is now in public cemeteries illegally earning millions, - the only salvation for the city, - said Bolgov. Selective-throughput mode According to the Association of Independent Entrepreneurs in the field of funeral services Memorial, in the capital, there are about hundreds of manufacturers of tombstones, but they get to the cemetery is very difficult. Today, because of the noise in the press around the ritual of service no longer extort bribes from businessmen to travel to the cemetery, as happened in the past two years. But still they are not free to leak. PKBO workers, guided by completely illegal orders of their superiors, require number of entrepreneurs such certificates, which may not even need to leave clearance rights for permanent residence abroad. And the representatives of Santa Maria feel confident in cemeteries, on the master, - told the expert head Memorial Lyudmila Sidorenko. In most urban churchyard over the past two years there were exhibitions of monuments of Santa Maria and the company is, in fact, they opened their own offices, although the law on the territory of cemetery property may be very public and communal structures. According to the deputy head of the association Memorial George Boutkevitch, cemeteries are billboards advertising service Spetskombinata PKBO, which are listed contact numbers.
In pursuit of profit, domestic manufacturers of food sacrificed quality - in the course are artificial substitutes for any taste, odor and color. To strengthen control in this industry, it is necessary to improve the legislation in the field of biotechnology and food safety. Salmon podkrashivayut, chicken stuff hormones, milk diluted with water, and milk fat substitute for palm oil. Apples and potatoes are overcrowded with nitrates, grapes - pesticides. Whether we like it or not, but it will not denemsya of technology intensive feeding of animals and growing plants. Humanity has no chemistry no longer feed. what danger now posed with a package of food, we learned from the Academician, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences, the Rector of National University of bio-resources and environmental management of Ukraine Dmytro Melnychuk. - What are the tricks used by unscrupulous producers to earn, saving on the quality? - I do not wish to comment on these methods. Believe me, it very much. Perhaps to something, some manufacturers have not yet dodumalis, so we, God forbid, they teach. better to talk about how it affects the health of Ukrainians. Here, for example, domestic refiners extract oil from natural cow's milk and palm oil vpihivayut there. Our digestive system to the genetically Giroux is not suited. Particularly affected children, the sick and elderly people. Can I say tough, but with this diet is not the current generation will live as long as their grandparents. Our young people - this army of people with allergies. Similarly come with products that sell under the guise of butter, sour cream. Mix different fats, putting artificial additives that give the smell and taste of natural butter or cream. A sausage? In some classes, no more than ten percent of the meat, put even pork and beef skin, the skin split to such an extent that the emulsion is produced. The rest - soy, flour, starch, water, salt, colorings, flavorings, flavor amplifiers. At the same time under the name to distinguish these from natural sausage impossible. In one of the training farm of our university, we started sausage shop. Scrambled - not technologists, professionals, capable of making sausage from the natural meat! Out of starch, flour, all tripe - it please, because otvykli from natural products. We found the Soviet GOST 1977, on them and produce. - Why does it happen? - I think this is a tragedy not only of our country. Unfortunately, we have, and in many other states the economy is oriented so that the dairy and beef cattle farming unprofitable. See how many in a country devastated farms! There is a shortage of liquid milk and meat, and began to make substitutes. If the production, processing and sale of milk were in the same hands, one cow did not cut it. For example, the German producers, refiners and sellers of dairy products in the merged association. Members of such organizations the total profit and divide it so that all had a good return on investment. We went on this way poultry farmers, because they thrive. - labels can be found frightening words sodium sulfite, emulsifier, sweetener E420 and so on. They are dangerous to health? - Chemistry, part of the food in certain quantities, is considered safe. Today, it is not without cost. Of course, the presence of substances in products such as heavy metals, nitrates and nitrites, radioactive elements, phenols, dioxins, antibiotics, certain hormones, is always harmful, even if they are present in minimal doses. Chemistry Against Hunger - whether to bring us to the meat of the prohibited areas? In fact, the whole world roused pig flu outbreak. - With regard to pig flu more conversations. Of course, if the current global migration of food in the country could get anything. But we must pay tribute to the Veterinary Service of Ukraine - serious infections, we have not yet been. The specialists of the Service are able to detect even subtle virusonositelstvo and transgenic constructions, which have rattled the nation to the limit. Another point is that the parameters by which the quality of the goods at the border, it is too little. - What happens to the fish or chicken? Are they safe, especially the Bush legs? - there are problems with the fish, and leg quarters. Trouble now, you can expect from any product. Leg quarters handle such preservative that after that they neither fly podletaet not. In some countries allowed the use of antibiotics and hormones to stimulate growth and prevent disease in animals and fish. We have the drugs banned for use, but in Ukraine brought premixes - concentrates biological additives to animal feed. They often are present and antibiotics and hormones, which no one now does not define and does not regulate. Fish is sick, too. Especially a lot of parasitic infections, and some of these parasites are very dangerous to humans. - And how to check the quality of vegetables in the markets and in supermarkets? - Modern technology intensive production and processing of agricultural products involve the use of the vast number of chemicals that protect against pests, encourage growth, accelerate maturation. For example, pesticides in the world for several thousand, try to identify them all. Besides, you have to pay for the examination. In the supermarket you will be a certificate that the products of normal. But many vegetables and fruits - transgenic grown using large doses of pesticides. Onions, which grows in the wild, small, powerful. A luxuriant greenery, long thin feathers indicate that it is usually full of nitrates. Of course, the veterinary control production runs required. Same meat tested for parasitic infection, leukemia, tuberculosis, and so on. Should, in the products was not radionuclides. But the identification of heavy metals, nitrates, pesticides vetsluzhba regional scale, in most cases are not yet capable. - It is urgent for Ukraine genetically modified foods? - This is a genie that escaped from the bottle, and return it no longer drive. You need to master these technologies, is another thing, how to use them. Suppose, this table would make a transgenic tree, which introduced a system of protection against viruses, pests, or certain bacteria. Or flowers of different colors for ornamental plants can also be through a combination of genes. To this bad? But here it is necessary to monitor the impact of such plants on biodiversity of nature. With regard to food, the scientists argue: in a certain number of GMOs harm no. But how to define an acceptable standard? We import a huge quantity of soybeans, soy flakes, soy flour, and because nearly 90% of the culture of the world's genetically modified. That is, adding it to the sausage, we feed his people in genetically modified products. Ukrainian legislation in this area perfect. In a country the law should work on biotechnology, which would be clearly that it is possible and what is not. Where there is the slightest doubt, it is better to abstain, to continue the study. - Since July 1, came into effect on regulation of labeling of food products which contain genetically modified organisms. - to give such opinions will not be easy, because in Ukraine there are only a few laboratories that are able to determine the presence of GMOs. Recently, an international certificate for such research has received Ukrainian laboratory of quality and safety of agricultural products, created at our university. This high-quality products we have a little bit. If the ban added to the same soy sausage, instead of the problem, we get another: from a lack of domestic production of meat in the country will begin hunger. From intensive technologies do not have детьÑÑ. But the prices of products with GMOs should be much lower than natural. not prohibited, it means that you can - Who should be responsible for food safety? - Monitor the quality and safety products to the state. None of the other until you do. There should be a clear division of responsibilities between the relevant ministries and agencies, academic and educational institutions. And to do so should be a high-level specialists. Only under such conditions it is possible that a guarantee. In Soviet times, was in Odessa Research Institute, who deal with the nutritional status of children, the elderly, the sick. He worked for the entire Soviet Union, the quality of raw materials and products and their producers of the certificates issued.
