Угода «Про асоціацію» ЄС з «третіми» державами: досвід Польщі

Abstract

Розглянуто відносини України та Європейського Союзу через призму відносин ЄС з «третіми» державами. Йдеться про поглиблення співробітництва через підписання угоди «Про асоціацію». Метою дослідження є розгляд досвіду держав, з якими ЄС вже підписав такі угоди та які уже є членами ЄС, а також доведення його значення для України. Особливу увагу звернено на державу-члена ЄС – Польщу. Розглянуто процес адаптації законодавства, який є необхідною умовою для входження цієї держави до Об’єднання, що може послугувати прикладом для України, оскільки йдеться про процес виконання всіх вимог ЄС, що є обов’язковим для подальшої співпраці зі Співтовариством. We consider the relations between Ukraine and European Union through the prism of EU relation with the «third» countries. It is referred to more intensive cooperation through signing the «Association agreement». The research objective is to study the experience of Member-states and the states with whom the Agreement has already been signed, as well as to research the importance of this experience for Ukraine. Particular attention was paid to the EU Member-State – Poland. It is recognized that the process of the laws adaptation to the EU requirements is a necessary condition for the entrance into the Union, and it is a necessary condition for further cooperation for association. The «Association agreement» does not include the perspectives of Ukrainian EU membership, but this, according to the researches, will facilitate the cooperation between the two parties, strengthening the political and economic integration with EU. Though, this is only the beginning of a complex work. After the Association Agreement comes into force, Ukraine will have to fulfill certain obligations, especially in the adaptation of Ukrainian law to the EU requirements within the Agreement. But it is not limited to this, as the law adaptation process is dynamic and in this situation its specific spheres of adaptation and those of the listed legal acts necessary for realization in the national legislation can not be correctly determined. The adaptation of the law of Ukraine to the EU legislation is conducted through the corresponding amendments to the acting law and in the development of new acts with regard to the Association achievements and requires complex approach. The Association achievements include not only the EU regulations (regulations, directives, decisions, resolutions, etc.), but also general principles of EU right, decisions of the European Union, strategies, actions and common positions within the common foreign policy and the security policy. In this context the experience of Poland as our neighbour and as of the state whose integration process was successful, is very important for Ukraine.
