In particular, it is about studying the possibilities related to the compatibility of Ukrainian systems and structures with the requirements of EURES, the implementation of regulations that will allow Ukraine to effectively interact with European labor force databases.

"In addition to the need to ensure legislative compatibility of existing Ukrainian systems with European standards, there must be appropriate technical compatibility - for effective matching of vacancies and resumes. For this, we need to improve internal information systems, adapt some technical aspects, which will allow us to ensure the compatibility of the data required for EURES," explained the First Vice Prime Minister - Minister of Economy Yuliya Svyrydenko.

The Ministry of Economy notes that currently the action plan is largely aimed at studying the experience of countries that have already joined the EURES, in particular, Poland and Croatia.

Today, EURES (EURopean Employment Services) supports the free movement of labor in 31 states of the European Union and the European Economic Area. The platform contains more than 4 million vacancies and is convenient for employers and job seekers in Europe.
