Dr Jolanta Taczynska, the Project Team Leader, while presenting the UEPLAC goals and strategies, stressed that the present phase of UEPLAC has an extremely ambitious task to deal with the whole scope of legal approximation issues and for the first time it is of purely legal nature. She underlined that, in elaboration of the work plan, UEPLAC came out with an implementing strategy comprising of four very concrete components which, if tackled properly, would allow creating proper, workable mechanism for implementation of approximated legislation. At the same time, UEPLAC’s main ambition is focused on implementation of approximated legislation. It was stressed that in order to achieve this purpose, there should be desire of working together as among Ukrainian counterparts themselves but also among their international partners. Concluding her presentation, Mrs Taczynska assured the audience that this new phase would be implemented on the ground of full transparency and partnership between the Ukrainian and European counterparts.
