— comments: Part one of Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Scrap Metal” regarding obligatory registration of contracts (agreements, treaties) for the export of scrap metal was excluded based on the Law No.1455-VIII dated 12 July 2016. The resolution of the issue is foreseen by the Draft Law of Ukraine No.7497 "On Unshadowing of the Market of Metallurgical Raw Materials (on amendments to certain legislative acts concerning operations with scrap metal)" which was registered with the VRU on 17.01.2018. The Draft Law is supported by the MEDT and the representatives of the metallurgical industry. Current status - pending review.
