According to the Department of Public Relations of Derzhprodpozhivsluzhby, since the legislation of Ukraine is only beginning to adapt in the field of sanitary and phytosanitary measures in accordance with the requirements of the European Union, work is underway to reform the system of state control and monitoring of food safety. The Law of Ukraine 07.22.2014 No. 1602-VII "On the Basic Principles and Requirements for the Safety and Quality of Food" entered into force a year ago. The implementation of the provisions of the designated Law of Ukraine ensured the establishment of an illusory mechanism for providing state pledges for the safety and quality of food products. In addition, there is state control in the sphere of sanitary and phytosanitary measures, again, in accordance with the requirements of euro legislation.
In order for manufacturers to gradually move to the implementation of the procedures of HACCP, the legislation of Ukraine defines a transitional stage of their implementation, in particular for:
- Capacities working with food products, which include untreated components of animal origin (except for small capacities), - 3 years from the date of publication of the Law (from 20.09.2017);
- Capacities working with food products that do not contain untreated components of animal origin (except for small capacities), 4 years after the Law was published (from 20.09.2018);
- Small capacity - 5 years after the promulgation of the Law (from 20.09.2019).
Transition periods provide market operators with a chance to reorient themselves to fresh requests and, if necessary, produce food products in accordance with the provisions of the new Law.
