Commission`s Opinion – EU acquis Chapter 1

Moderately prepared (3)

Ukraine is moderately prepared in the area of the free movement of goods. It has taken initial steps to align itself with some of the EU acquis in the area of the ‘New and global approach to product legislation’, although these steps are yet to be completed. It should, in particular, complete its alignment with the EU acquis for the legislative framework, i.e. standardisation, accreditation, conformity assessment, metrology and market surveillance (known as the quality infrastructure). The administrative capacities of all institutions involved need to be strengthened and coordination among these institutions improved.
