Reforms in Ukraine: Protecting Ukraine's Consumers

Consumer protection is an integral part of human rights. Independent Ukraine’s history of regulation and practice in this area dates back to 1991, when a framework law was introduced. This system emerged from the soviet one, based on detailed technical quality standards that ensured the homogeneity of products all across the USSR while severely restricting variety and quantity. However, such standards don’t work in an open market economy: instead of ensuring consumer safety, they ensure bureaucratic pressure on business.
