ACCESSION OF UKRAINE
Laws and Draft Laws Relevant to Ukraine's Accession to the WTO
Revision
The attached revised table provides an analytic inventory of Ukraine's laws and draft laws
relevant to its accession to WTO.
The laws and draft laws in the table include all those mentioned in documentation currently
before the Working Party, as identified in WT/ACC/UKR/106/Rev.1 ("Checklist of documents
currently in usage concerning Ukraine's accession to WTO."), as well as more recent submissions.
The table is thus comprehensive, and supercedes all previous such information on legislation.
As regards the entries in the table under the column "Status", the following should be noted:1. the entry "pending in the Supreme Rada" indicates that a draft Law has been submitted to
the Supreme Rada, but has not yet had its first reading.
2. the entry "not re-registered" indicates that a draft law has not been carried over into the
present convocation of the Supreme Rada(which is the result of the Parliamentary
elections of 31 March 2002) from the previous convocation of the Supreme Rada.  The
rules of procedure of the Supreme Rada stipulate that when a draft law does not receive
its first reading during a convocation of the Supreme Rada it is considered to have beenrejected, and may not be re-registered in the subsequent convocation of the Supreme
Rada.
3. In the case of laws, the absence of any entry indicates that the law is in force.
