The President of Ukraine recommended that Parliament reconsider the Law "On the Development of the Automotive Industry of Ukraine." The reason for returning the document to the Verkhovna Rada was the President's proposal to introduce amendments to Article 4 of the draft law, the Law "On the Development of the Automotive Industry of Ukraine," which, in particular, provides for determining the country of origin of automobiles, motorcycles and/or component parts and spare parts for automobiles in accordance with Articles 227-279 of the Customs Code of Ukraine. . At the same time, the Customs Code defines the country of origin of goods for the purpose of applying tariff and non-tariff measures to regulate the import of goods into the customs territory of Ukraine and the export of goods from that territory. The criteria used for this are of a general nature and are intended for a wide range of goods, and therefore cannot be used for an objective assessment of products manufactured by a specific manufacturer. Proceeding from this, the President proposed that Article 4 of the law be set out in the following wording: "Article 4. Determination of the country of origin of automobiles, motorcycles, component parts and spare parts. 1. For the purposes of this Law, the country of origin of an automobile, motorcycle, component part or spare part shall be considered Ukraine if, in the manufacture of such automobile, motorcycle, component part or spare part, the value of units and parts used from other countries amounts to less than 50% of the ex-works price of the manufacturer of such automobile, motorcycle, component part or spare parts therefor. 2. In the production of automobiles whose country of origin is Ukraine, the requirements of paragraph 1 of Article 4 of this Law and the following four production and technological operations shall be mandatory: a) production of the automobile body (cab), when a body (cab) is produced from individual elements, parts or units by methods of permanent joining; b) painting of the body (cab); c) equipping of the body (cab); d) assembly of the automobile."
