Acting Director of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine Serhii Perkhun and President of ICC Ukraine Volodymyr Shchelkunov signed the Memorandum of Cooperation.

The document provides not only for joint strategic sessions, but also for the analysis and development of necessary legislative changes, information exchange, etc.

The parties also agreed to conduct workshops by ICC Ukraine experts for ESBU detectives in various areas. These will include trainings of the international application of intellectual property rights, European tax legislation, basic principles of cryptography, such as hash functions, symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

At the same time, representatives of ICC Ukraine noted positive dynamics in the work of ESBU. In particular, in their opinion, due to the effective measures taken by ESBU over the past two years, the illicit cigarette market has decreased by 7.7%, reaching 18%. However, it is still high and requires further active work and consolidation of efforts by law enforcement and public sector.
