The Federation of Employers of Ukraine will take part in development of technical requirements for goods imported and sold in Ukraine. Committee created at the FEU would coordinate developing of requirements for quality and safety of imported goods, President of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine Dmitry Firtash said after the meeting of the organization’s Presidium held today in Kiev.“Our task is to protect the domestic market from low quality products. First of all, it concerns the food market”, - said Dmitry Firtash.
