Demining in Ukraine

Written question No. 714 to the Committee of Ministers | Doc. 14145 | 29 September 2016

Signatories:
Mr Mogens JENSEN, Denmark, SOC

The Danish Demining Group (DDG) conducts a demining programme in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine where they have identified a great number of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) and on this background identified areas as suspected or confirmed hazardous areas. The problem is that DDG is only permitted to do the identification but not the actual demining.

Mr Jensen,

To ask the Committee of Ministers,

To ask the Ukrainian authorities to immediately allow Danish Demining Group to carry out the actual demining of the identified mines and ERW.
