The International Law Committee of the Ukrainian Bar Association invites you to join the event on the topic «Investment screening: how EU experiences can enrich the Ukrainian realities?» held on 6 November 2024 at 13.00 Kyiv time (12.00 Stockholm time)

The event is a part of the webinar series «On the way to EU. What does EU accession of Ukraine bring next?» with the support of Ukrainian and foreign experts. We aim discussing  Ukraine's and its investors' challenges and opportunities that come with this stage. 

Despite the Russian war, Ukraine has remained an interesting investment destination EU due to its historical dedication to EU values and innovative market opportunities. Opening of negotiations with EU has increased the interest to the Ukrainian market even more.However, there is one improvement that Ukraine can take in order to make the investment process more efficient for both parties – Ukraine and its investors. 

It is legislation on investment screening. Currently, Ukraine is working on the new concept of Investment screening and its discussion with the relevant stakeholders.

In the light of Ukraine joining the EU, relevant EU legislation as well as EU experience in this area can become not only the inspiration, but a roadmap. Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union defines screening as a “procedure allowing to assess, investigate, authorise, condition, prohibit or unwind foreign direct investments”.
