The Research Service of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has prepared an informational reference on the implementation of selected EU acquis into Ukraine’s criminal procedure legislation, in the context of European integration and the planning of parliamentary activities for 2026. The analysis takes into account the recommendations of the European Commission, as well as the provisions of the Rule of Law Roadmap and the National Programme for the Adaptation of Ukrainian Legislation to EU law.

The paper examines the alignment between EU legal acts recommended for implementation and the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, particularly with regard to specific criminal procedural mechanisms. It places particular emphasis on international cooperation and the settlement of conflicts of jurisdiction, as well as on legislative initiatives envisaged in the Legislative Work Plan of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for 2026.
