To quickly implement European animal welfare standards in Ukrainian legislation and farming, the deputy minister argued the country needs a ‘clear understanding’of the practical steps both the state and businessesshould take to meet EU standards.
The government will need to work on clear “guidelines and priorities” for adopting animal welfare principles, ensuring that Ukrainian agricultural producers can put it into life in the most effecient way.
The official called on Ukrainian businesses not to lose time and adopt EU animal welfare practices today.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
