Cleaning up customs was one of several complaints voiced by business leaders to William B. Taylor, the new acting US ambassador

Cleaning up customs was one of several complaints voiced by business leaders to William B. Taylor, the new acting US ambassador, at a discussion sponsored Wednesday by the US-Ukraine Business Council. Peter Kerekgyarto, Royal Dutch Shell Ukraine director, complained of shakedown attempts by inspectors looking for bribes – “fire safety, labor safety – always ending up in the courts.” Michael Bleyzer, president of SigmaBleyzer, called for a “decentralized, merit-based, market economy [ending] the systemic corruption where civil servants milk this country for their own benefit.”
