During a study visit for the Danish delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly to Ukraine, we learned that internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine who receive allowances from the Ukrainian authorities are subject to a strange and harsh control system. The authorities pay random visits without warning to the IDPs and, if just one member of the IDP family is not at home when the visit takes places, the family will lose their allowances. It means that the IDPs cannot go to the doctor or the children cannot go to school without the risk of losing the allowances. Furthermore, the IDPs are not warned about the loss of the allowances. They find out when they do not receive them any longer and then it takes another 2-3 months to get back on the list again.
Mr Jensen,
To ask the Committee of Ministers,
To ask the Ukrainian authorities to revise their control system in order to make it possible for the IDPs to live as normal a life as possible and not all of them tied to their homes all day long.
