Uk Ukraine Free Trade Agreement

66) The chapters produced in trade agreements specify the treatment and extent of parties` access to the internal market. These provisions include setting tariffs and tariff quotas for different products, setting agricultural safeguards and setting rules of origin for products eligible for preferential treatment. Tariff commitments for both the United Kingdom and Ukraine were ignored without change, with the exception of the cases listed below. This means that the tariff preferences applied by the UK to products from Ukraine remain the same as those applied by the EU, and Ukraine will continue to apply the same preferences for British products that it currently applies to EU products. The trade and sustainable development provisions contain a commitment to the basic labour standards of the International Labour Organization and the ILO`s decent work agenda. The agreement aims to reduce technical buyers to trade. The agreement aims to integrate Ukraine into the European market for services and e-commerce as much as possible. Unlike traditional Fta, it provides, with certain reservations, the freedom of establishment in the service and non-service sectors. It provides for the expansion of the internal market to a number of key services. Ukraine accepts EU legislation. 59) Most WTO members have a system of remedial measures. The UK will operate its own system at the end of the transition period agreed with the EU. The agreement between the UK and Ukraine reiterates the impact of the remedial provisions in the EU-Ukraine agreement, with some changes.

The product-specific safeguard clause for passenger cars and the related provision for the application of several safeguards have been repealed. This specific change is unlikely to have an impact, given that imports from the United Kingdom are much lower than the trigger volume indicated. 5) This report details the main differences related to trade between: the attempt to ensure continuity with the old EU-Ukraine agreement has also enabled the adaptation of the rules of public procurement and competition in the new agreement. It is now referred to the UK`s national competition rules (Chapter 10). Given that state aid has become one of the stumbling blocks in securing an agreement between the EU and the UK, it is all the more remarkable that a state aid clause is included in the agreement (Article 250). Ukraine`s obligations within the EU CCFTA require an independent state aid regulator, with regular reports to the European Commission.

Implicit additional duties are calculated on the basis of the difference between MFN and preferential rates (simple average tariffs at CN8 level) and the commercial value of each product at the CN8 level (2019 for imports, 2018 for exports).
