  • Analysis of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine: paving the way to better environment

    30.12.2013

    The Association Agreement makes provision for harmonization of the Ukrainian legislation with the EU one in the field of environmental protection. In particular, Ukraine will have to introduce European standards of air and water quality and waste management. Incentives for emission reductions will also be provided. However, the improvement of environment will come at a cost — companies’ costs for compliance with environmental standards will increase.

    The above material is a part of a series of short informational materials, developed by the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER), about the potential impact of implementation of the AA on the Ukrainian economy. The purpose of the publication is to explain the content of the AA, because a number of comments on the topic have emerged recently, but their authors have often described the content of the agreement incorrectly.
