Due to the persistent actions of AFPA «The Fishermen Community of Ukraine» according to the «Program of the poaching fishing tools trading ban in Ukraine», in January 2008 , we have reached amendments acceptance for the basic «Trade regulations at the markets», approved by the Ministry of Economy in Ukraine, which are taken as a grounding in the regions. With the support of the State Environmental Inspectorate and State Fishery Protection Agency the information was passed to the regions at an official level and sent to the environmental protection and law-enforcement authorities and also to all of the local city and village councils.
The foundation of this work was laid in 2007 by Kiev Environmental and Cultural centre , due to the cooperation with it, AFPA «The Fishermen Community of Ukraine» managed to impose the ban on the poaching fishing tools trading to the municipal “Trade Regulations at the markets” during1year in 130 cities of Ukraine, in particular in 17 oblast centers and the capital. Further opposition of the local government relied on the basic "Regulations". According to the information of the colleagues from Kiev Environmental and Cultural Centre, who have already attempted to reach this problem solution, Ministry of Economy had already dragged this matter solution time and again, that is why in November 2008 FCU caught the ecologists’ initiative and by joining forces we have pushed the matter through - Resolution "On the addition to the clause 47 of the Trade Regulations at the markets" № 183/1619926 from February 26 2009 has been signed by the Ministry of Economy in Ukraine, Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ukraine, State Tax Administration of Ukraine and State Committee of Ukraine in the matters of the technical regulation and customer policy.
