Resumen


Objective: The purpose of the article is to study the process of harmonisation of Ukrainian legislation with the EU norms, to identify the beginnings of this process and its current state, and to characterise the key challenges and prospects.

Methods: To achieve the study's aim, the thematic analysis method was used to identify the key topics, concepts, and principles of legislative harmonisation found in the scientific literature and laws. A comparative analysis is also used to depict the process of harmonisation of Ukrainian laws with EU norms, which is presented in some modern studies and laws of Ukraine.

Results: The results highlight that the harmonisation of Ukrainian legislation with EU law is a complex and lengthy process that began long before the signing of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the EU. At different stages of harmonisation, different tools and approaches were used, including analysis of the practice of other countries that have harmonised their legislation with EU law. In the process of approximating Ukrainian legislation to EU norms, problems arise in the area of definitions and translations, which complicates the implementation of European law.

Conclusion: The conclusions highlight that an important challenge is to harmonise the interpretation of terms used in the legislation to harmonise the legislation with EU norms.
