Ukraine intensifies technical regulations adaptation to EU standards

Economic development and trade minister of Ukraine Ihor Prasolov called harmonization of Ukrainian technical regulations with the European legislation one of the most important tasks for today.

"For me, as a minister, it is one of the priorities. We lag behind in this issue. It is important that we have already approved clear plan of very intensive development and implementation of technical regulations. Of course, there will be resistance, but we will adopt such regulations on al the directions (means of transportation, water, air, environment), which will bring us closer to the European Union. Moreover, the EU allocated money and we will invite experts from the EU to work out these regulations as quickly as possible. We will strengthen work of our Ministry in this direction," Prasolov told a press conference.

According to the minister, Ukraine should pass about another half of the technical regulations, for our country to confidently declare their full adaptation to international standards.
