Charm of Compliance and Information Society Services in Ukraine

Facilitating international trade is a key issue for§economic growth of Ukraine. For this the country§needs to create appropriate conditions that must§derive from well-developed and effective legal§framework. Given the significance of the EU Member§States as investors and foreign trade partners such a§framework could incorporate elements of EU§legislation. This would be part of a compliance§strategy where Ukraine is adapting itself to the EU§in order to facilitate cross-border trade in§electronic and IT services with EU Member States. As§the future of the world economy is electronic§services oriented, facilitating trade in this sphere§and adaptation its information legislation to the EU§standards is of a primary advantage for Ukraine. §This research aims at defining existing gaps in the§most relevant to trade in e-services branches of§legislation, such as intellectual property rights§protection, personal data protection, information§security and fight against cyber crime. Filling in§these gaps is a key issue for creating appropriate§legal environment for attracting investment and new§trade partners from the EU to the Ukrainian market of§electronic services.
