Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the legal preconditions for the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation in the field of competition law with the law of the European Union. Due to its evolution, it is noticeable that competition law has been, and remains, a priority in the harmonization process of Ukrainian legislation. This paper provides a detailed analysis of competition related provisions of the Association Agreement. The latter contains norms on the obligatory approximation of substantial competition law provisions and sets out the necessity to transform their enforcement system. Special attention is paid to the analysis of state aid which currently remains unregulated in Ukraine.
