The attached proposal establishes the Union position on a decision by the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Sub-Committee under the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine, on the modification of Annex V of the Agreement. The Agreement was signed on 27 June 2014, and is provisionally applied in part, since 1 January 2016.

The proposed modification aims to implement the provisions of Chapter 4 (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures) of Title IV (Trade and trade-related matters) of the Agreement. In particular, in Article 64(4) of the Agreement Ukraine committed to submit a list of Union sanitary and phytosanitary acquis to which it intends to approximate its domestic legislation. That list is to be added to Annex V of the Agreement.
