The business community, united by the European Business Association, the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs and the Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business, calls on MPs to support draft law \u21162289 “On Amendments to Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine” On Pesticides and Agrochemicals “<\/strong> regarding the transportation of pesticides to the customs territory of Ukraine \u201dand to unblock the access of farmers to innovative crop protection products.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, the draft law is designed to amend Article 4 of Law \u211686 \/ 95-VR “On Pesticides and Agrochemicals” of March 2, 1995, in terms of removing the rule that documentary evidence of the state registration in the country of production is required for the import and use in Ukraine of samples of unregistered crop protection products used for state tests and research. Such a requirement is actually impossible to fulfill. It should be noted that such a rule does not exist in the legislation of the European Union and other developed countries. The current rule appeared in early 2016 and led to the fact that Ukrainian farmers receive crop protection products 4-5 years later than their counterparts in other countries, or do not receive at all. As a result, Ukrainian farmers are deprived of innovative products that, according to business representatives, could increase crop yields and increase the greening of agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n
