the Project provides for the relevant amendments to the Code of administrative offences.

 

Production and trafficking in Ukraine, for produce not satisfying the requirements of standards, norms, certification, safety and quality, including products that contain palm oil, except in accordance with the exemption Law, will be punished by the imposition on officials of organizations and enterprises of all forms of ownership penalties in the amount of 20-100 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens. For the second violation committed within a year, the penalty will be increased to 100 to 200 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens.
