        to emigrate, free of anything more than a nominal tax on 
        emigration or on the visas or other documents required for 
        emigration and free of any tax, levy, fine, fee, or other 
        charge on any citizens as a consequence of the desire of such 
        citizens to emigrate to the country of their choice;
            (2) Ukraine has been found to be in full compliance with 
        the freedom of emigration requirements under title IV of the

        (also known as the ``Helsinki Final Act'') and successive 
        documents;
            (4) Ukraine has shown progress towards meeting 
        international commitments and standards in its most recent 
        Parliamentary elections, recognizing that significant 
        shortcomings remain, including in the implementation of 
        Ukraine's election laws, illegal interference by public 
        authorities in the electoral process, and allegations of 
        intimidation against opposition contestants, activists, and 
        voters;
            (5) as a participating state of the OSCE, Ukraine is 
        committed to addressing issues relating to its national and

        both individually and communally;
            (6) Ukraine has enacted legislation providing protection 
        against incitement to violence against persons or groups based 
        on national, racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination,

        nongovernmental organizations;

        properties, including religious and communal properties 
        confiscated from national and religious minorities during the 
        Soviet era, is facilitating the revival of those minority 
        groups, and is in the process of developing a legislative 
        framework for completing this process, as was confirmed in a 
        letter to the President of the United States;
            (9) Ukraine has received normal trade relations treatment 
        since concluding a bilateral trade agreement with the United 
        States that entered into force on June 23, 1992;
            (10) Ukraine is making progress toward accession to the 
        World Trade Organization, recognizing that many issues remain 
        to be resolved, including commitments relating to access of 
        United States agricultural products, protection of intellectual 
        property rights, tariff and excise tax reductions for goods 
        (including automobiles), trade in services, agricultural

        goods, and reform of customs procedures and technical, 
        sanitary, and phytosanitary measures;
            (11) Ukraine has enacted protections reflecting 
        internationally recognized labor rights, noting that gaps 
        remain both in the country's legal regime and its enforcement 
        record;
            (12) as a participating state of the OSCE, Ukraine has

        infringements of this freedom continue to occur;
            (13) Ukraine has established positive relations with 
        neighboring countries, and has stated its desire to pursue a

        democracy and prosperity for its citizens; and
            (14) Ukraine has participated with the United States in its 
        peacekeeping operations in Europe and has provided important 
        cooperation in the global struggle against international 
        terrorism.
