Commission`s Opinion – EU acquis Chapter 12

Moderately prepared (3)

Ukraine is moderately prepared in this area. Key provisions, in particular in the sectors of animal health, animal welfare and phytosanitary measures, need to be brought further in line with EU legislation. Food safety provisions need to be implemented. Ukraine needs to stay abreast of the evolving EU acquis to ensure alignment. The administrative capacities of the institutions involved need to be strengthened and coordination between these institutions improved.
