KIEV, July 1 – Parliament has set up a temporary investigatory commission to conduct an inquiry into the June 8 Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal ruling, the allegations of corrupt activities against the Swiss-registered gas trader RosUkrEnergo AG, the involvement of public officials into this case, and the arrest of former chief of the State Customs Service Anatoliy Makarenko.

This decision was supported by 238 out of 433 lawmakers at Parliament's meeting on Thursday.

Ukraine's opposition was pressing for setting up this commission.

The commission dealing with RosUkrEnergo will be led by Roman Zvarych, a member of the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense Union parliamentary faction, and Anatoly Kinakh of the Party of Regions will be his deputy. The commission will include members of all parliamentary groups.
