The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has ratified
Ukraine's accession to the Agreement on Government Procurement within the World
Trade Organization (WTO).
Some 243 deputies voted for the law on
ratification of the Agreement on Government Procurement (No. 0085).
According to an explanatory note to the
document, the aim of the law adoption is Ukraine's accession to the WTO
agreement and the introduction of agreement provisions in the territory of
Ukraine, which will become a kind of signal for the international community
that Ukraine is pursuing a correct policy of reforming the public procurement
system, establishing an effective and transparent trading environment with the
reduction of corrupt practices.
The implementation of the agreement provisions
will promote Ukraine's active integration with the EU.
The explanatory note says current legislation in
Ukraine's public procurement market is applicable to all agreement signatories,
but that markets of member states who have signed the agreement are closed for
Ukrainian business.
