Background information:

The OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine implements the “Improving Ukraine’s Regulatory System on Chemical Safety and Security” project. One of the main tasks is to improve its national legislation in the field of high-risk establishments. The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine (MEDT) and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) are the beneficiaries of the Project.

SESU is designated by the Government of Ukraine to be responsible for the development of the national legislative framework for high-risk establishments in accordance with the relevant European Union regulations in the area of control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances - Directive 2012/18/EC (SEVESO III Directive). Transposition of SEVESO III Directive into the national legislation is planned to be completed by the end of 2019.

SESU already conducted the preliminary comparative analysis of Ukrainian legislation to the provisions of the SEVESO III Directive and prepared recommendations for the further harmonization of the Law of Ukraine "On High-risk Establishments", the Draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on High-risk Establishments" (Draft Law) and other national subject-specific legal acts with the SEVESO III Directive.

For the purpose of updating the Draft Law and developing its second version, the OSCE PCU requires the service of three national experts in this field.

 

Please note that this is a consultancy assignment of approximately 60 working days. The consultants will be required to work from home.

  • co-ordinate and supervise the completion of tasks by other local experts and integrate their inputs to the final version of the document;
  • update the provisions of the Draft Law basing on the relevant supporting and analytical materials already developed within the framework of the interagency working group on the development of the Draft Law;
  • Revise proposals, recommendations and comments of the state governmental bodies and civil organizations received in the result of discussions on the first version of the Draft Law and use them while updating the Draft Law;
  • In co-operation with the OSCE PCU project team, facilitate discussion of the updated Draft Law with the international expert on SEVESO III transposition and incorporate all relevant comments and suggestions to the final version of the Draft Law;
  • update and finalize the provisions of the Draft Law considering the assessment of compliance of the Draft Law with the Provisions of the SEVESO III Directive conducted by the international expert;
  • compile a list of all legal and other normative acts regulating the operation of high-risk establishments that would require amendments in lieu with implementation of SEVESO III;
  • co-ordinate and facilitate the process of obtaining official conclusions of the Governmental Office on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration on the compliance with the Draft Law and submit a revised version of the Draft Law together with its annexes listed in paragraph 50 of the Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on July 18, 2007, No. 950;
  • provide expert support during the Draft Law approval processes within the ministries concerned, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and other relevant central executive bodies.

The abovementioned tasks will be divided between the selected experts (leading national expert and two national experts) based on their qualifications and skills.

 

Necessary Qualifications:

  • university degree in civil protection, industrial safety or related technical sphere. Additional degree in law or relevant advanced training would be an advantage;
