Property (including buildings, structures, other facilities located in Ukraine and which support the operation of the oil product pipeline) will be transferred from the commercial structure to the National Agency for Identifying, Tracing, and Managing Assets Linked to Corruption and other Crimes (Asset Recovery Agency).
