Despite Russia’s ongoing war of aggression, Ukraine is advancing on its path towards EU membership. In the agricultural sector, one of the most heavily regulated areas of the European Union, far-reaching institutional reforms are required. In addition to adopting the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the so-called acquis agricole includes extensive requirements regarding food safety, environmental and animal protection, and market regulation.
In his research paper EU Integration of Ukraine – Assessing the Challenges for Agri-Food Public Authorities, Dr Oleg Nivievskyi from the Kyiv School of Economics analyses the EU’s institutional requirements, compares them with the current situation in Ukraine, and quantifies existing capacity gaps. Against the backdrop of severe war-related damage and a high need for investment, he puts forward policy recommendations for the efficient use of public funds – with the aim of attracting foreign investment and supporting targeted reconstruction efforts.
