Association Agreement establishing the Free Trade Area with the European Union, and is a

member of a number of other regional trade agreements.

The program is supported by the Trade

Representative of Ukraine Natalia Mykolska:

“Congratulations to new graduates -

International Trade Regulation Program!

Awaiting for you in the Ministry of Economic

Development and Trade!” (N. Mykolska said

about the first graduation of the program
