Professionals for Reform Support Mechanism (PRSM) provides human resource support – from managers to technical experts – to critical reform initiatives undertaken by national governmental agencies. PRSM is a multi-donor platform, which improves coordination of donor efforts for greater impact and avoids overlap of donor funding. It does not support routine work of the Government of Ukraine that is normally managed by the civil service.

The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine is implementing the reform of the technical regulation system of Ukraine. The reform is aimed to secure consumer safety along with implementation of commitments under the Association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and fulfilling conditions needed for signing the ACCA agreement and harnessing benefits of the free trade with the EU.
The Technical regulation system is not complete without a properly functioning state market surveillance system. The state market surveillance is dedicated to cover such “market gap” as lack of motivation to comply with safety requirements in conditions of growing competition and decreasing profit margins. Properly functioning market surveillance system assures consumer safety, enforces responsibility of producers for placing on the market products that don’t meet essential safety requirements, grants impartiality of inspection checks, and ensures products traceability (link between a product, producer, places of production and sale).

Position Summary:
Legal Advisor on EU Legislation will advise on drafting amendments to legal acts regulating market surveillance, bringing them in compliance with the EU principles on consumer safety for their further evaluation by the Delegation of European Commission.

Preferred Qualifications and Skills:

• Master degree in Law, Technology, Public Administration or other related field;

• Experience in drafting legal acts in technical regulation, preferably concerning products safety regulations;
• Knowledge of the European Union legislation on consumer safety;
• Strong analytic skills and proven experience on cross-check of legislation regarding contradictory regulations;
• Communication skills;
• Fluent in English.
