An Act 
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations 
treatment) to the products of Ukraine.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Ukraine allows its citizens the right and opportunity 
to emigrate, free of any heavy 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 received normal trade relations treatment 
since 1992 and has been found to be in full compliance with 
the freedom of emigration requirements under title IV of the 
Trade Act of 1974 since 1997. 
(3) Since the establishment of an independent Ukraine 
in 1991, Ukraine has made substantial progress toward the 
creation of democratic institutions and a free-market economy. 
(4) Ukraine has committed itself to ensuring freedom of 
religion, respect for rights of minorities, and eliminating intoler-
ance and has been a paragon of inter-ethnic cooperation and 
harmony, as evidenced by the annual human rights reports 
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe 
(OSCE) and the United States Department of State. 
(5) Ukraine has taken major steps toward global security 
by ratifying the Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of 
Strategic Offensive Weapons (START I) and the Treaty on 
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, subsequently 
turning over the last of its Soviet-era nuclear warheads on 
June 1, 1996, and agreeing, in 1998, not to assist Iran with 
the completion of a program to develop and build nuclear 
breeding reactors, and has fully supported the United States 
in nullifying the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. 
(6) At the Madrid Summit in 1997, Ukraine became a 
member of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and has been a partici-
pant in the Partnership for Peace (PfP) program since 1994. 
(7) Ukraine is a peaceful state which established exemplary 
relations with all neighboring countries, and consistently pur-
sues a course of European integration with a commitment 
to ensuring democracy and prosperity for its citizens.

(8) Ukraine has built a broad and durable relationship 
with the United States and has been an unwavering ally in 
the struggle against international terrorism that has taken 
place since the attacks against the United States that occurred 
on September 11, 2001. 
(9) Ukraine has concluded a bilateral trade agreement with 
the United States that entered into force on June 23, 1992, 
and is in the process of acceding to the World Trade Organiza-
tion (WTO). On March 6, 2006, the United States and Ukraine 
signed a bilateral market access agreement as a part of the 
WTO accession process.
