EU – Ukraine Association Agreement is a legal instrument for the implementation of the foreign policy vector and the implementation of the constitutional principle of Ukraine of the European identity of the Ukrainian people and the irreversibility of Ukraine’s European and EuroAtlantic course. The implementation of the Association Agreement becomes a tool not only for its implementation, but also for ensuring the processes of acquiring full membership of Ukraine in the EU. The implementation of EU – Ukraine Association Agreement will depend on the national implementation of the agreement and the determination of its status in the system of sources of national law.

The penetration of EU law into the legal order of Ukraine can be defined as a process of Europeanization, which is traced both at the level of the legislative and executive branches of government (through the adoption of relevant norms and acts), but also by judicial practice for the harmonious interpretation of relevant norms. The issue of uniform enforcement of EU law is being investigated. The practice of the Court of Justice of the EU and its legal positions become important in this process as a source of interpretation of norms, which by their nature have a transpositional nature from EU law through the fulfillment of obligations included in the Association Agreement. The already existing judicial practice of Ukraine regarding the application of the practice of the Court of Justice of the European Union is studied.
