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.

Reforms in Ukraine: Regional Integration
|
Ordinary Ukrainians and most of the country’s political forces recognize that Ukraine belongs to Europe and deserves to become a full-fledged member of the European Union one day. Ukrainian voters and their Government also favor a mutually beneficial, friendly, stable and predictable strategic partnership with Russia. These two vectors are sometimes seen as contradictory, but the task of the country’s Government and civil society is to make them complementary in a way that will allow Ukraine and the regions to which it belongs to benefit from both.

On 20 Years of Independence: Vira Nanivska, ICPS director, interviewed in Den
| The radical change in economic and political systems that took place in the early 1990s, the institution of private property and the dismantling of the Communist Party’s monopoly, to this day, are not supported by the institutions necessary in a democratic, market-oriented government. By maintaining immunity for the ruins of the soviet state machine and centralized, command principles of law, we hung onto the rule of power without establishing the rule of law. |
