The analysis of the legislation adopted during 2014-2020, which is
aimed at fulfilling Ukraine’s obligations under the Association
Agreement, conducted by the experts of the EU-UNDP Parliamentary Reform
Project on request of the Committee on Ukraine’s Integration into
the EU. The analysis used information from open sources, obtained, in
particular, from the conclusions of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada
on Ukraine's Integration into the European Union.
Experts have found that more than thirty adopted laws do not fully take
into account or even contradict the provisions of the Association
Agreement. In some cases, the opinion of the Committee on Ukraine's
Integration into the EU was not taken into account during the adoption
of the draft laws. This applies, for example, to the Law of Ukraine «On
Amendments to the Law of Ukraine» On the Judiciary and the Status of
Judges» of October 16, 2019.
The approximation of Ukrainian legislation to the law of the European
Union is one of the most important requirements and key tasks, set by
the Association Agreement. Obligations in this regard are contained
both directly in the main part of the Agreement and in the annexes to
it and other international agreements between Ukraine and the EU.
The purpose of the expert analysis of the legislation adopted in
Ukraine with inconsistencies with the Agreement is to draw attention to
the cases that cause the greatest concern among the expert community,
business representatives and partners of Ukraine.
