Tomasik Jaworski, a Warsaw-based law firm specialized in healthcare, is leading a consortium of experts involved in a major consultancy project financed by the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The project started in May 2016. Its aim is to assist the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to review and help improve pharmaceutical registration procedures. The ultimate goal is to bring the process into compliance with EU standards. “Our job is not only about reviewing the law. We are talking to all players – state officials, local industry and foreign companies, to find out how things really stand,” says Tomasz Jaworski. “We can already see that many problems are similar to what we had in Poland before EU accession in 2004,” adds Marcin Tomasik. The project team includes Prof. Leszek Borkowski, former head of the Polish drug registration agency, local lawyers led by top pharma lawyer in Ukraine Borys Danevych, as well as several regulatory experts from Poland, Ukraine and Latvia.

LOT Polish Airlines: Connecting Ukraine to the world via Warsaw Ukraine plays an extremely important role in the future plans of LOT Polish Airlines. Season by season we have been pleased to observe increasing presence of passengers from Ukraine on board our planes and welcome their positive assessment of the high standards and quality of Poland’s most internationally recognized brand. The current network of connections via Warsaw makes Poland a convenient gateway to destinations in North America and across Western and Central Europe for Ukrainian passengers. The modern hub in Warsaw offers short transfer times and allows passengers from Ukraine to reach destinations including New York City, Copenhagen, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, and Krakow. Our range of Ukraine flight services is also expanding. In March, we launched a new direct service between Kharkiv and Warsaw, with flights five times per week. The number of flights from Kyiv and Lviv has also risen. LOT aims to become the leading airline for the entire Eastern and Central Europe region by 2020, with an annual target of 10 million passengers. Within the next few years, the airline plans to double its fleet to approximately 70 aircraft. Acquisitions will include new narrow body Boeing 737 planes and 16 state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliners. This is good news for passengers travelling from Ukraine, who will benefit from more flights and greater convenience. Recently announced new long-haul flights to North America will support increasing transatlantic Ukrainian tourism and business traffic.
The Warsaw-Newark route will launch on 28 April 2017, while the first direct flights from Warsaw to Los Angeles in California are set to begin on 4 April. During the coming winter season, LOT plans to increase flights to existing North American destinations. LOT Dreamliners will fly daily to Chicago and New York City, while the frequency of services to Toronto will rise. The continued growth of LOT Polish Airlines anticipates expanding business, trade, and tourism ties between the Central and Eastern Europe region, Western Europe, and North America. Ukraine has an important part to the play in this process.
