KYIV. Feb 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine at the beginning of August 2016 will launch new technical regulations for some goods, packed by weight and volume, developed in the framework of bringing the legislation in compliance with EU requirements.
This is stipulated in Cabinet resolution No. 1193 of December 16, 2015, published in the Uriadovy Kurier newspaper, which determines that the technical regulations come into force after six months from the date of publication.
The technical regulations concern goods, having a mass of at least 5 g (or ml) and not more than 10 kg (or liter). Products are considered to be packed if they are placed in packaging of any origin in the absence of a buyer, and the amount of goods indicated on the packaging cannot be changed without opening or damaging the package.
The government established that packaged goods, which were put into circulation or have been in the market for less than two years before the entry into force of the new technical regulations, are not subject to the restrictions and prohibitions in connection with the non-compliance with the requirements.
