The integration of Ukraine into the European Community is a complex and longterm
process, which was started long before the signing in 2017 of the Association
Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union and its member
states, on the other hand (hereinafter the Agreement). Signing the Agreement obliged
Ukraine to bring domestic legislation into compliance with European requirements.
This created new opportunities for the adoption of new standards in various spheres of
social life, including in the field of environmental protection.
The domestic reform of the legislative framework in one of the priority directions
in the European Union (environmental protection) was carried out with the support of
European institutions within the framework of the Sectoral Policy Support Program.
The program was focused on specific goals defined by the National Environmental
Strategy of Ukraine. Thus, Annex XXX to the Agreement stipulates that Ukraine must
implement a number of legal acts of the European Union, thereby bringing national
legislation closer to EU legislation. Regulations, Directives and Decisions of the
European Union were to be reflected in the legal framework of Ukraine.
The implementation of European environmental legislation in Ukraine takes place
in eight sectors regulated in the EU by 29 legal norms, namely Directives and
Regulations. Waste and resource management occupies an important place among the
selected sectors
