KYIV. Sept 2 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine has become a member of working groups of Belarus, Iran and Serbia for their joining to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

“If we do not take into account the hard-core developing countries, Belarus, Iran and Serbia are the most important countries for us. We entered working groups of these countries for their joining WTO,” Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister and Trade Representative of Ukraine Natalia Mykolska said in an interview with TOP-100.

She said that Belarus has some trade restrictions for Ukrainian goods, in particular, ecological tax on cars, and now and then sanitary measures against Ukrainian goods are introduced. Mykolska said that there are some problematic issues for Ukraine with the Eurasian Economic Union, and they could be settled at the level of liabilities on Belarus’ joining WTO.
