Ukraine: New Single Food Safety Authority is Created
On September 10, 2014, Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers created the “State Service on Safety of Foodstuffs and Consumer Protection”. Its authority will be based on the previous functions of the State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Service of Ukraine and will encompasses the State Sanitary Service, Agricultural Inspection, and Agency for Consumer Rights. The Agency will receive new legal authority upon the implementation of the law recently approved by the Parliament.
