The paper briefly discusses the main economic developments in Poland since its accession to the EU in May 2004 and sees how they relate to the regulatory environment and policies which the EU imposes on the member states. Even though the paper concerns the recent period of 2004-2006 there are frequent references to developments that took place in Poland in the pre-accession period. This is because the country’s integration into the EU economy was a gradual and lengthy process which had formally been initiated in December 16, 1991 when Poland and the EU signed the Europe Agreement.

This paper investigates an impact of the government policies aimed at the enterprise sector on competitiveness of this sector. The analysis was based on an example of the Polish manufacturing sector and the eight-year period from 1996 to 2003.
The general recommendation is that the competitiveness of the Polish manufacturing sector could be increased by relaxing fiscal burden, further privatization and restructuring of state owned companies. The state aid in a form of subsidies seems to harm both internal and external competitiveness rather than to support them.

THE ROLE OF TRADE IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CRIMEA IAEME Publication
The socio-economic situation in Crimea has changed under the influence of the political events of 2014. One of the key economy sectors, the effective functioning of which is necessary for the sustainable development of the region, is trade. In this regard, the research is dealt with the trade of Crimea and its role in the socio-economic development of the region. The results have shown that in 2014–2017 the internal trade of the region demonstrated higher development rates than in 2010–2013. The slight slowdown in trade development in general is solely due to the decrease in foreign trade, which, in turn, is partly due to a change in the settlement procedure, as well as to the overall Russian policy of import substitution. Thus, despite certain difficulties that are still typical for the trade of Crimea, the main problems of the industry have been solved currently or continue to be solved through state regulation measures. Further development of the trade industry will contribute to the improvement of the socio-economic situation in the region and the well-being of its residents.
The impact of the sanctions on the economy of the Russian FederationIgor Britchenko
The article analyses the impact of the sanctions of civilized countries on the Russian economy. Particular attention is paid to sectoral sanctions on the markets of oil and oil products, in the banking and financial sectors, as well as on the market of transport services. The authors analysed the prospects for expanding sanctions on the oil market for Russia in the context of setting a maximum price for the export of Russian oil by the main buyers. Conclusions are drawn not only about the impact of sanctions on Russian oil production, but also about a possible decrease in prices for oil and other energy resources in the region. The authors positively assessed the US and EU anti-Russian sanctions in the financial sector. The impact of sanctions on the Russian banking system, insurance, and stock markets was studied. Particular attention was paid to the impact of disconnecting the banking system of the Russian Federation from the international payment system SWIFT. The authors also focused on the gradual division of the Russian economy under the influence of sanctions and trends in the energy market into the energy sector and the rest. It was found that the most affected by the sanctions were air transportation, mechanical engineering, and ferrous metallurgy sectors. Conclusions are drawn about the need to continue sanctions pressure on the Russian economy. High energy prices during the 200 days of the war with Ukraine allowed the Russian Federation to subsidize economic sectors that suffered from the war at the expense of the energy sector. A market reduction of the oil prices or their correction with the help of the sanctions policy should cause significant and irreversible damage to the Russian economy.

The main goal of this research was identifying non-resource non-energy goods with the highest
export potential for export to China from all the variety and complexity of the product range that Russia is able
to export. Under the new bilateral cooperation framework Russia is able to unleash its export potential and
effectively diversify its exports to China, while China - to receive a profitable supplier for the long term.
The negotiations on the Association Agreement (AA) between the European Union (EU) and Ukraine, including its trade component, i.e., the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA), were completed in December 2011. The agreement is practically ready to be signed, if the EU’s concerns related to the deteriorating political freedoms in Ukraine are addressed. The ball is now in Ukraine’s court and the correct and rapid response is crucial for the country’s future. Both the AA and the DCFTA offer Ukraine an opportunity to deepen its political and economic relations with the EU and modernize its own economy and state institutions. However, if fundamental economic, political, and institutional reforms are not accelerated and conducted in a more comprehensive and consistent way, the prospect of implementing the DCFTA (and its potential benefits) will come under question.

• The value of goods exports declined sharply in March on a year-on-year basis amid continued decline in grain and iron ore prices.
• In March, a record external financing of USD 9 bn was received. Half the funds came from the EU as bridge financing under the Facility for Ukraine.
• The Government approved the Ukraine Plan, which defines priority steps and measures, the implementation of which should become the basis for the EU budget support.
• State fiscal revenues continued to grow, partly due to the windfall taxation of banks' profits.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Which way to choose - European Prosperity or Trade Stability
1. “Which way to choose - European Prosperity
or Trade Stability”
2. Introduction
There is an actual question: what choice to make Ukraine? Events that are
happening in the country and the choice of Ukraine between Europe and Russia are
discussing worldwide. Researches of leading sociological companies shows that
people wishing to integrate into the European Union, more than those who want to
join to the Customs Union and become closer to Russia. So 46,9% of Ukrainians
believe that the country should sign an association agreement with the EU. At the
same time, only 28,9% of the citizens of Ukraine's integration options selected
entry into the Customs Union.
What choice will make Ukraine? Today, this question can be heard as never
often. Choice between the Customs Union and the European Union makes people
in the country to weigh the pros and cons and finally decide. Build a future on their
own or in alliance with someone to see confidence in the future will help us to
Europe or the Customs Union?

3. General macroeconomic indicators
European integration – a key priority, which accumulates in a range of
domestic and foreign policy of Ukraine's efforts to align to the European Union
(EU) and create the necessary preconditions for accession to the European Union
in the future. But in addition to the European integration for Ukraine there is a
second option - the Customs Union. In order to determine which vector should take
Ukraine it is necessary to analyze the economic, social, technical indicators and
compare in what union Ukraine has more prospects for the development and
functioning of various industries.
Basic macroeconomic indicators are summarized in the table 1

higher GDP and purchasing power. At the same time, GDP growth has worsened
and unemployment is much higher than in the Customs Union.

5. Ukrainian export to EU
Question of export to EU and Custom Union is essential to be studied. It’s
very important to understand what we have now and what we will have after
accepting of one of the agreements. Firstly, we analyze the situation with export to
EU countries. The EU is among Ukraine's most important commercial partners
and accounts for about one third of its external trade. On the graph 1 we can see
which products exactly we export to EU countries and what share each product
type has. Also table 1 shows us export products in numbers.

6. Figure 1 –Ukrainian export to EU
More than half of Ukrainian exports to the EU constitute products of
metallurgical industry, agriculture, and raw materials: each of these industries
provides about 20% of total exports. In
addition, the important role is taken by the
Main export items to EU:
food industry (about 6%), chemical and
petroleum industry (about 4%) and

engineering (approximately 2.5 %).

Almost half of Ukrainian agricultural
metal
export is corn: in 2012 Europe imported from

Ukraine more than 6 million tons of this
product. As to the food industry, the basis of

7. Ukrainian exports to the EU is sunflower oil: in 2012 Europeans have bought it for
$ 780 million. The main raw materials, exported to EU, are iron ore and iron ore
concentrate (17 million tons valued at $ 1.6 billion). In addition, Ukraine supplies
coal, wood, clay, granite and sandstone, etc.
The supply of Ukrainian goods to Europe for 9 months of 2013 decreased by
only 2.4 % - to 12.29 billion dollars, and European import increased by 3.5 % - to
20.55 billion dollars. As a result, the share of exports to Europe increased from
22.4% to 26.6 %, and imports - from 31.9 % to 36.7 %.
Final conclusions about the impact of signing free trade agreements with the
EU according to export:
1. Ukraine is unlikely to gain from the elimination of import duties. For
agricultural and food products Europe has established too low quota for duty-free
imports, and as raw materials and metallurgy, duties are absent.
2. Cancelation of export duties on raw materials will facilitate the
export of these items from Ukraine, that will cause problems, particularly for
metallurgical and food industries.
3. Revenues of the state budget of Ukraine will seriously diminish by the
abolition of import and export duties.
Ukrainian export to Russia
Ukrainian exports to Russia in 2012 was 23.0 billion U.S. dollars.
Imports from Russia amounted to 28.4 billion U.S. dollars. Negative balance
for Ukraine is $ 5.4 billion.
Russia remains the main trading partner of Ukraine - 27.9 % of the whole
Ukrainian export of goods and services belongs to Russia. Main group of
products that are exported to Russia we can see in the table 3.

10. Using the figure 2 we can see the shares of each product in the whole export
to Russia. Products of Ukrainian engineering make the biggest part of export
profit, the second place goes to the metal products. Also the huge part of export is
formed by agriculture, chemistry and
mineral production.
Main export items to Russia:

million, or 13.1%. The main reason is
mineral products
considered to be Ukrainian attempts
to sign association agreement with
EU. Export to other countries of the Customs Union also declined during this
period: in Kazakhstan - it fell by 8.9%, to 1.73 billion, Belarus - 8.3%, to 1.51
billion dollars.
Final conclusions about the impact of signing trade agreements with the CU
according to export:
1.
Keeping the main export market. Russia historically remains the
main Ukrainian trade partner and signing agreement with EU could possibly
lower activity between our countries.
2.
Continuing rough competition in automobile industry. Russian
protection policy in this field regards to introduction of utilization duties, which
increased the price of Ukrainian trucks, while native (Russian) producers got a
postponement in the duty payment.
3.
Lowering of international image. Continuing one-side cooperation
(with post-Soviet countries, which forms the CU, and limiting trade with other
countries) could be considered as the growing dependence of Ukraine from
Russia and thus lower the international image of the country.

11. Harmonized standards and tariffs
Not less important factors in the decision to join the one union or another
remain tariffs and harmonized standards, with which all Ukrainian goods and
services will have to comply.
At the present time general number of commodity positions that are
subject to tariff for export to Russia is equal to 10691. Moreover, Russia will
take countermeasures to protect its market from the supply of European goods
from the Ukrainian territory after signing by Ukraine agreement on free trade zone
with the European Union and will introduce new import tariffs. This was stated by
Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation Sergei Glazyev. It is assumed,
that corresponding measures of Russian government will be implemented as soon
as all the tariffs between Ukraine and the EU are eliminated.
In additionthere is a greatrisk toUkrainian companies thatthey will have
toworkin the Russian market after FTA agreement signing between Ukraine and
the EU. Primarily this peril is connected with modern equipmentabsence on a huge
number of domestic enterprises that means impossibility European technical
regulations realization. As a result – too many Ukrainian goods may
proveuncompetitivein the European market.
AsMFN has reported Presidential Aide Sergei Glazyev predicts default in
Ukraine in 2-3 months.
Thus, we can see, signing an agreement with the European Union Ukraine
automatically loses the Russian market, which has always been and still remains
one of the largest sales markets for products of most Ukrainian companies. And
even if the ability to export products to Russia will remain, it will become more
expensive due to new tariffs that again will reduce the competitiveness of our
enterprises and their commodities.
From the other hand in case of entering to the EU 5710 of Ukrainian
commodity positions will be exempted from tariffs for export to Eurozone
(according to an agreement terms). Also there is an estimate that 63 commodity
positions that are exported from Ukraine will be able significantly increase their
volumes in nearest 3 years. Although of course no one does not negate the fact that

12. Ukrainian producers will have to work hard to make their products comply with all
required harmonized quality standards.
Today the fund of national standards includes 27 thousand documents,
of which 7074 - national standards harmonized with international and EU,
representing 15% of the total number of international and European standards.
Also 1340 national standards among all accepted and harmonized with
international and European are the standards, voluntary use of which is considered
as a proof of conformity with the technical regulations developed on the basis of
the EU directives . The development of such national standards has a greatest
priority for our country.
Besides, according to Minister of Economic Development and Trade of
Ukraine Igor Prassolov at different stages of development there are still 386
drafts of national standards harmonized with international and EU under the
EU Directive. It is important thing that funding the work on harmonization of
national standards implemented in the framework of the budget programs of public
authorities, and by business entities.
Thus there is no simple answer, both agreements give Ukraine stupendous
potential for development and growth opportunities. The question is how to use all
this options and where find enough investment to realize them in the most effective
way.

13. Branches that are highly depend on Russia
Observing consequences of entry in these unions, we should put our
attention at the “opportunity cost” of such interaction. The main threat at this area
is sanction that Russian Federation and other countries that participate in Custom
Union, can put on goods, exported from Ukraine.
There is a necessity to observe branches that are highly depend on Russian
market by huge volume of exported production. Amount of exported goods
exceeds $ 100 million, the share of export to Russia more than 50%.

15. Migration trends comparison
European Union
During 2011 there was estimated 1.7 million immigrants 1 to the EU from
the outside countries. In addition, 1.3 million people who were living on the
territory of some EU country
migrated to another Member
State.
Thus, about 3.2 million
people immigrated to one of
the EU countries, when at the
same time at least 2.3 mln
emigrants have left EU
Source: Eurostat (migr_imm1ctz) and (migr_pop1ctz)
countries. It has to be
emphasized that given numbers do not represent the migration flows to or from the
EU as a whole, because they also take into account flows between different EU
countries.
The largest number of immigrants in The United Kingdom (566 044) was
observed in 2011, next greatest countries were Germany (489 422), Spain (457
649) and Italy (385 793); these four countries together amounted for 60.3 % of all
immigrants to European Union.
The greatest number of emigrants was observed in Spain in 2011 (507 742),
the United Kingdom (350 703), Germany (249 045) and France (213 367). 16
countries of EU reported the higher rate of immigration than emigration in 2011,
but in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Poland, Romania and
the threeBaltic countriesamount of emigrants exceeded number of immigrants.
Depending on the size of the population of the country, Luxembourg
amounted the highest number of immigrants in 2011 (38 immigrants per 1000
persons), followed by Cyprus (26) and Malta (13).
The highest rates of emigration in 2011were observed for Ireland (19
emigrants per 1 000 persons) and Lithuania (18 emigrants per 1000 persons).

16. Observing the methods of the analysis of the migration problems we can
consider the EUROSTAT principle of the categorization of the migrants according
to the level of development of the country of their citizenship. This method of
analysis is based on the considering human development index (HDI) calculated by
the United Nations.

countries. Low HDI countries (6.3 %),EFTA countries (3.6 %) and candidate
countries to the EU (3.1 %) amounted relatively low shares of total immigration to
the EU in 2011.
In 2011, the relative share of returning nationals in total number of
immigrants was highest in Lithuania (89.3 % of all immigrants), Portugal (63.6
%), Croatia (55,3 %),
Estonia (54.8 %) and
Greece
(54.5
%).
Moreover,

countries evaluated the

17. about relatively low shares of return migration in 2011 accounted for less than 10
% of immigrants.
Looking on the gender distribution of immigrants in 2011, there was
observed highest share of men than women (52.1 % compared to 47.9 %). The
country with the highest share of male immigrants was Slovakia (62.4 %); on the
other hand, the highest share of female immigrants was reported in Cyprus (55.2

Current

and

provoked substantial changes in the
population migration level. Last year
tendencies showed us growing level of
emigration of the Ukrainian citizens to
the EU countries and countries of
North America and Russia. So, let us

Ukrstat, connected with the Ukrainian migration trends.
Emigrationof Ukraine can be
characterized by following factors:
●

number
of
emigrants: 6.5 million

Looking on the graph we can see
that bigger part of the Ukrainian
migrants amounted to the 67% of
men versus 33% of women. At the
same time, we can recognize main
employment branches of Ukrainian
emigrants, the biggest of which
constitutes construction – 54%,
homecare – 17%, agriculture – 9%,
retail – 9%.

19. Imigrationto Ukraine mainly occur because of its benefitial geographical
position. It means that Ukraine somehow represents the linkage between Asia,
Africa and Europe. So, immigration to Ukraine can be characterized by following
indicators:
The total number of immigrants: 198 325 (the number of immigrants

registered by Ministry of International Affairs, 2010 - UKRSTAT), 5.3 mln
(residents of Ukraine, according to the 2001 census were not born in its territory UKRSTAT).
●
The main countries of citizenship of immigrants: Russian Federation,
Moldova, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan.
Сustoms union
Today, Russia represents the most attractive destination for labour
migrants from the Customs Union (CU) countries and Central Asian countries. Its
labor market requires migrants with high and low qualifications for employment
and given the imperfection of migration legislation, the overwhelming majority of
unskilled migrants work in Russia irregularly. So, let us consider main trends of
this region’s emigration and immigration.
●
Emigration:Depending on the country of migration destination
Eurostat accounts at least 1 out of 2 Russian migrants living in the European
Union, with Germany which amounting the greatest number, followed by Estonia
and Latvia. Other countries, which are always chosen by Russian migrants as a
destination, are Ukraine, Israel, and the US. However, there exist some differences
between such countries.
Overall, Russian migrants have an intermediate skill profile with 70.0% 2
persons with a medium-high level of education (2006) with no significant
differences according to destinations. In OECD countries, a huge mismatch
between educational and occupational level is observed: 2 out of 3 (65.9%) of
Russian migrants were indeed employed in low-skilled jobs, such as ‘service, shop,

From the table we can see that three main destination countries of Russian
labor emigrants are Germany, Austria and Poland. It is also important to say that
amount of labor emigrants beginning from the 2000th was growing and for 2011
amounted to almost 110 thds people.
Stocks of Russian refugees continues to be one of the largest in the
European Union. In 2011 there were 109,785 refugees in the area with almost one
half based in German speaking countries.

Immigration: Beginning from 1991 Russian Federation has become
one of the greatestmigrants’ amount host countries in the world, with the
biggest part of neighbor countries’ migrants.
In 2002, the population census recorded almost 12 mln 3 individuals born
abroad and around 1 mln of foreign citizens in Russia (8.3% and 0.7% of the total
resident population, respectively). In both cases, the the biggest part is originating
in other CIS states (94.0% and 88.4% respectively) confirming the exceptional
importance of Russia within the CIS migratory area for cultural, historical and

By comparing the size and origins of the foreign population in 2002 and
2010 (columns 2 and 3), there are several important issues to be emphasized.
First, rapid decreases in immigration were seen in nearly all countries,
except for most central Asian countries (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan).
For example, in 2002, 22.5% of migrants were from Ukraine, which has fallen to
13.6% in 2010. In the same time period the share of Uzbekistani’s increased from
6.9% to 19.1%. Hence immigration stocks in Russia have seen significant changes
in 8 years a relatively short period of time 4.

22. CONCLUSION
So, returning to the main point of this article, we can conclude consequences
of 3 main scenarios of Ukraine ascension to EU, CU or remaining independent.
First scenario is signing the FTA Association Agreement and in future
joining to the European Union. The main factor, that should be positively assumed,
is reciprocal lifting of customs duties between Ukraine and EU countries. This
will lead to growing export on 10%, when import will probably rise by 15%.
Main macroeconomic indicators are relatively increased in EU.
But on the other hand the GDP growth of these countries is decreasing in
comparison with previous years. Other difficulties can appear from harmonization
of standards viewpoint. 85% of all standards have to be agreed with EU one.
Furthermore this scenario will obviously lead to decreasing trade turnover
between CES countries and Ukraine by approximately 2.5%.Ukrainian GDP
dynamic will lower, because of diminution in export volumes to CES countries
and growth in import volume from EU countries. One more important factor that
should be taken into account is dependence of some branches on the Russian
market. “Custom war” will lead to huge losses in machine-building, chemical,
confectionary industry.
Second scenario is joining Custom Union. Positive side is expansion of
inter-country trade, increasing of industrial cooperation between countries,
stimulating technological convergence.
But on the other hand such interaction will not lead to strategic long-run
changes in organizational and productive spheres. And formation of unified
currency system can lead to reduction of export from Ukraine and growth in
import. Such decision will strengthen political and economic dependence of
Ukraine on Russia.
Remaining independent is one more scenario. But in a world, where struggle
between blocs of countries is constantly intensifying, Ukraine will not be able to
maintain full independence.
Thus there is no simple answer, both agreements give Ukraine stupendous
potential for development and growth opportunities from one side and terrified

enough investment to realize them in the most effective way.
