Commission’s Opinion – EU acquis Chapter 3

Some level of preparation (2)

Ukraine has some level of preparation in this area. The treatment of foreign service providers regarding the freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services is broadly consistent with general principles of EU legislation. Ukraine does not differentiate clearly between requirements that apply to operators providing services from an establishment in Ukraine and requirements that apply to operators established outside Ukraine and providing cross-border services in Ukraine. Moreover, as Directive 2006/123/EC applies to a wide variety of service activities, alignment with it still requires thorough screening and assessment of sectoral legislation in Ukraine. Ukraine is partly aligned with the EU professional qualification and postal acquis.
