Summary/Abstract: To make full use of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with the EU, it will not be enough for Ukraine to implement EU norms and technical standards. The Ukrainian government should create transparent and stable regulations and simplify the business environment. In this respect, legislative approximation in sectors covered by the DCFTA will be necessary. At the same time, it will be essential that the EU financial support provided to Ukraine is spent effectively to minimise, at least partially, the high cost of modernisation.
