The author obviously supports the draft Law, as the document is aimed at ensuring its implementation.<br \/>\n<strong>Main provisions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General harmonization:<\/strong> The list demonstrates the scale of work required to bring Ukrainian legislation into compliance with EU requirements in the areas of accreditation and technical regulation. This is important for legislators, as it shows the amount of work that needs to be done after the adoption of the Law.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Responsibility of authorities:<\/strong> The document clearly defines the bodies responsible for the preparation of draft acts and sets deadlines for their adoption or revision.
