Ukraine Joins WTO

On Feb. 5, 2008, the World Trade Organization and Ukraine signed an agreement on Ukraine’s entry into the WTO.

Ukraine must ratify the accession agreement no later than July 4, 2008. 30 days after ratification, Ukraine then becomes a full member of the WTO.

Ukraine President Victor Yushchenko called the WTO membership “a decisive milestone in the development of our economy.”
