This order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine amends the list of large and especially large quantities of precursors that are in illegal circulation. It adds valerophenone to the list of precursors, defining a large quantity as from 0.25 to 2.5 liters, and an especially large quantity as 2.5 liters or more.
**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The order consists of a short preamble and one main part, which amends Table 3 of the order of the Ministry of Health No. 188 of 2000. The changes concern only the addition of a new item to the list of precursors – valerophenone, indicating the corresponding quantities for the qualification of illegal circulation.
**Key Provisions for Use:**
For law enforcement agencies and the judicial system, this order is important because it establishes clear criteria for determining the quantities of valerophenone that are in illegal circulation. This is necessary for the qualification of crimes related to the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors, as well as for the imposition of penalties.
