The First Vice-Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Mykola Azarov expects that by December Ukraine will complete its negotiations and become a member of the World Trade Organization in 2008.“Ukraine concluded all bilateral negotiations related to its entry into the WTO – having signed an Agreement with Vietnam and resolved all issues with Kirghizia. Moreover, today our government has made four more decisions that should completely resolve all issues from the regulatory point of view”, stated M. Azarov.
The First Vice-Prime Minister announced that at the beginning of December the Ukrainian delegation would travel to Geneva (Switzerland) to conduct all final negotiations. “This completes the long arduous work performed by various governments.
