KYIV, July 13 - The European Business Association (EBA) is concerned about a halt to chemical giant Dniproazot's work, which could lead to the suspension of production of beverages by several large plants.

"The business community is concerned about the situation with Dniproazot. Recently, companies that use liquid chlorine and hydrochloric acid to clean drinking water have turned to the European Business Association. They are concerned that the production of liquid chlorine and hydrochloric acid at JSC Dniproazot has ceased. According to their information, this is a critical situation, both for their business, for the population and the country's budget, since Dniproazot is a unique producer of this product," the association said.
