the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Improving the Regulation of Production and Circulation of Dietary Supplements"; (6 page(s), in Ukrainian)

the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Improving the Regulation of Production and Circulation of Dietary Supplements" aims to improve the regulation of production and circulation of dietary supplements on the market of Ukraine and state control over their circulation, considering the requirements of EU legislation.

The draft Law introduces a procedure for submitting notifications on the circulation of dietary supplements, maintaining a list of such notifications, which will be publicly accessible on the official website of the competent authority.

The draft Law stipulates that simultaneously with the notification, the market operator is obliged to submit a sample of labelling used for the dietary supplement in the state (Ukrainian) language, which is an integral part of such notification. The sale and circulation of dietary supplements to the final consumer is allowed only in dosed and packaged forms.

The draft Law also aims to strengthen responsibility for the production and sale of dietary supplements that that do not meet the requirements of the law, in particular, for non-compliance with labelling requirements.

The draft Law requires market operators to notify the competent authority within six months from the date of its entry into force of their intention to circulate dietary supplements that were marketed in Ukraine before the entry into force of this Law and that are expected to be marketed after its entry into force.
