NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 23 March 2020, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Ukraine . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Modification of content of previously notified regulation  
Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On amendments to the Resolution of the 
Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 15 November 2019 No. 1177" provides for amendments to item 88 
of the Procedure of inspection, survey, phytosanitary examination, su pervision, monitoring, 
disinfection of regulated objects, issuance of certificates in accordance with the Law of Ukraine 
"On Plant Quarantine", control of inspections in terms of sampling and selective control over the 
conduct of phytosanitary examination,  approved by the  Resolution  of the Cabinet of Ministers of 
Ukraine of 15 November 2019 No. 1177 (notified as G/SPS/N/UKR/136/Add.1)  
Currently, there is a requirement to carry out fumigation with the use of recirculation system during 
transportation of regulatory objects loaded into the vessels  holds over 12 meters deep together with 
coamings. Taking into account the  speed of penetration of fumigant into the thickness of the grain 
(2-3 meters per day), it is not expedient to carry out f umigation in this way during export  grains to 
distant foreign countries.  
Thus, the draft Resolution proposes to simplify phytosanitary measures with regard to fumigation, 
which will correspond to the best international practice of grain trade.  In particula r, it stipulates that 
fumigation will be carried out in accordance with international agreements, the requirements of 
importing countries, or the terms of a foreign economic agreement (contract).
