“The free trade agreement with the EU opened up new opportunities for the export of Ukrainian industrial products, but there was much work at the level of technical and technological requirements. Since 2016, we have significantly transformed the system of technical regulation and standardization, in particular 90% of the Soviet all-Union State Standards have been abolished. Instead, we have elaborated and adopted 5,105 national standards and 91% have been harmonized with the EU standards. In 2019, we plan to adopt 3,000 more standards,” First Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Stepan Kubiv said, the press service of the Ministry reports.
The First Vice Prime Minister also noted that Ukraine had gained full membership in the Metric Convention since 2018, which opened up additional export opportunities.
“Since we got full membership in the Metric Convention, we have gained recognition of the Ukrainian measurement system and its compliance with international requirements from all 59 member countries of the Convention. It is a prerequisite for Ukraine to acquire full membership in the International Organization of Legal Metrology and to continue work on the conclusion of an Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAA) with the EU,” Kubiv said.
