Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna and Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development Serhiy Derkach held talks with the relevant directorates of the European Commission.
The Ministry of Communities and Territories Development plays an important role in Ukraine's European integration process, in particular through the implementation of EU legislation in the areas of regional policy, transport, and trans-European networks. In total, there are almost 4,000 legal acts, of which about 400 need to be implemented
According to him, the ministry aims to create an infrastructure that would meet European standards in each region.
It is noted that Ukraine is now going through an extremely important stage of the negotiation process - screening the compliance of our legislation with the law of the European Union.
Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development Serhiy Derkach emphasized that the complexity of transport policy is not just the number of regulations to be implemented, but the fact that it involves physical infrastructure and technical regulations that must meet EU requirements.
Our task is to create the conditions under which Ukrainian transport and logistics will become an integral part of the European economic space
Recall
In July , Ukraine and the European Commission started bilateral meetings as part of the process of assessing the approximation of Ukrainian legislation to EU law, an important step on the road to EU membership.
