Abstract

The Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other hand, requires Ukraine to bring its national legislation closer to EU law and policy. Environmental protection can be singled out as a separate direction. The article analyzes Ukraine's progress in fulfilling its obligations under the Association Agreement with the EU in the field of industrial pollution and technogenic threats and water resources management. The process of harmonization of the Ukraine legislation and the EU in the field of emissions control from large combustion plants is described. The specifics of the implementation of the Concept of state policy implementation in the field of industrial pollution provisions have been established. The analysis of the legislative acts of Ukraine regarding the reduction and control of industrial pollution was carried out. The problems of implementing the provisions of directives 2001/80/EU and 2010/75/EU into the Ukraine legislation are described. Significant disputes between the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and business representatives in the field of industrial pollution control and prevention are indicated. The article provides information on the environmental policy of Ukraine in the field of water resources use and protection. Cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in this direction is carried out in accordance with Section V of Chapter 6 of the Association Agreement with the European Union. It is noted that the system of water resources integrated management based on the basin principle is being implemented in the country. The process of implementing the provisions of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EU into the legislation of Ukraine is described. The article presents the principles of developing river basin management plans, activities of Basin Councils, and procedures for state monitoring.
