KIEV, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine has adopted about 400 European Union (EU) regulations in the farming industry in the recent few years, the Ukrainian state-run Ukrinform news agency said on Friday, citing an official.
According to the agency, Ukraine's Representative to the EU Mykola Tochytskyi said that the results were achieved through the implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.
"It contains an important clause on aligning the Ukrainian legislation with those of the EU, including on sanitary and phytosanitary standards," Tochytskyi was quoted as saying.
The comprehensive Association Agreement, which includes a free trade deal and a broad range of legislation and regulation topics, came into full force on Sept. 1, 2017. The treaty has been provisionally applied since November 2014.
In January-November 2017, Ukraine's exports of agricultural products to the EU jumped by 38.2 percent year-on-year to 5.2 billion U.S. dollars.
