Taking a step toward enjoying an EU industrial product privilege only extended to Israel

Taking a step toward enjoying an EU industrial product privilege only extended to Israel, Ukraine’s Rada has approved a draft law that streamlines rules on regulatory control over non-food products. Scrapping overlapping checks and clarifying documents, the law is seen as a steep toward ‘visa-free’ industrial exports to the EU. Later this year, Ukrainian officials hope to sign the accord, officially known as the Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products, or ACAA.
