Abstract
Membership in the WTO will require Ukraine to reform its domestic regulatory environment, in addition to constraining its choice of trade policies. Implementing these regulatory reforms will cost money and take time. This paper assesses administrative costs of implementing WTO rules governing intellectual property rights, food safety, and industrial product standards.
The findings, interpretations, and conclusion expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent. An earlier version of this paper was presented on December 12, 2002, in Kyiv at the conference “Ukraine’s WTO Accession: Challenges for Domestic Economic Reforms,” sponsored by the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting in Ukraine and the German Advisory Group on Economic Reform.
