Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed a law on external labor migration, which is part of the Ukraine-EU Visa Liberalization Action Plan package.

According to a post on the official website of the Ukrainian parliament, the bill passed by the parliament on November 5 (No. 2330a) was returned with the signature of the president on November 23.

The draft law defines the legal and organization basis for the state regulation of external labor migration and social protection of labor migrants and members of their families. The state takes on a liability by signing an interstate agreement to guarantee rights to proper labor conditions, social insurance, bonuses and recreation for migrants.

The law takes effect the day after its publication.
