The President defines risks to national security in the following spheres: (a) energy security – distortion of market mechanisms in the energy sector; insufficient level of diversification of sources of energy supplies and technologies; criminalization and corruption of the energy sector; ineffective policy of energy efficiency and energy supply; and (b) environmental security - excessive anthropogenic impact and high level of man-made pressure on the territory of Ukraine; negative environmental consequences of the Chernobyl disaster; a significant amount of domestic and non-domestic waste and an inadequate level of their recycling, re-processing and utilization; unsatisfactory state of the unified civil protection system, environmental monitoring system. Priorities for ensuring Ukraine's energy security shall be as follows: (a) reforming energy markets, integration of Ukraine's energy sector with the energy markets of the EU and the European energy security system; (b) increase of energy efficiency and energy saving; (c) diversification of sources and routes of energy supply, development of renewable and nuclear energy with the consideration of ecological, nuclear and radiation safety; and (d) creation of conditions for reliable energy supply and transit of energy resources on the territory of Ukraine. Priorities for ensuring Ukraine's environmental security shall be as follows: (a) ecosystem preservation; (b) creation of efficient environmental monitoring system; (c) sustainable use of natural resources; (d) pollution control of the environment, atmospheric air, surface and underground waters, reduction of pollution level and restoration of soil fertility; (e) clean-up of the territory from industrial and consumer waste; (f) creation of the system of waste recycling; (g) mitigation of the consequences of Chernobyl disaster; and (h) prevention of import to the national territory of hazardous technologies, substances, materials, transgenic plants and pathogens.
