SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) Ukraine allows its citizens the right and opportunity 
        to emigrate, free of any heavy tax on emigration or on the 
        visas or other documents required for emigration and free of 
        any tax, levy, fine, fee, or other charge on any citizens as a 
        consequence of the desire of such citizens to emigrate to the 
        country of their choice;
            (2) Ukraine has been found to be in full compliance with 
        the freedom of emigration requirements under title IV of the 
        Trade Act of 1974 since 1997;
            (3) since reestablishing independence in 1991, Ukraine has 
        taken important steps toward the creation of democratic 
        institutions and a free-market economy and, as a member state 
        of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe 
        (OSCE), is committed to developing a system of governance in 
        accordance with the principles regarding human rights and 
        humanitarian affairs that are set forth in the Final Act of the 
        Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (also known as 
        the ``Helsinki Final Act'');
            (4) Ukraine has shown progress towards meeting 
        international commitments and standards in its most recent 
        Parliamentary elections, recognizing that significant problems 
        remain, including shortcomings in the implementation of 
        Ukraine's election laws, illegal interference by public 
        authorities in the electoral process, and intimidation against 
        opposition contestants, activists, and voters.
            (5) Ukraine is committed to addressing issues relating to 
        its national and religious minorities as a member state of the 
        OSCE and to adopting measures to ensure that persons belonging 
        to national minorities have full equality both individually and 
        communally;
            (6) Ukraine has enacted legislation providing protection 
        against incitement to violence against persons or groups based 
        on national, racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination, 
        hostility, or hatred, including anti-Semitism, and has 
        committed itself, including through a letter to the President 
        of the United States, to ensuring freedom of religion and 
        preventing racial and ethnic intolerance and hatred;
            (7) Ukraine has engaged in efforts to combat ethnic and 
        religious intolerance by cooperating with various United States 
        nongovernmental organizations;
            (8) Ukraine is continuing the restitution of religious 
        properties, including religious and communal properties 
        confiscated from national and religious minorities during the 
        Soviet era, is facilitating the revival of those minority 
        groups, and is in the process of developing a legislative 
        framework for completing this process, as was confirmed in a 
        letter to the President of the United States;
            (9) Ukraine has received normal trade relations treatment 
        since concluding a bilateral trade agreement with the United 
        States that entered into force on June 23, 1992;
            (10) Ukraine is making progress toward accession to the 
        World Trade Organization, recognizing that many central issues 
        remain to be resolved, including commitments relating to 
        protection of intellectual property rights, tariff and excise 
        tax reductions for goods (including automobiles), trade in 
        services, agricultural subsidy levels, elimination of export 
        incentives for industrial goods, reform of customs procedures 
        and technical, sanitary, and phytosanitary measures, and 
        inclusion of trade remedy provisions;
            (11) Ukraine has enacted some protections reflecting 
        internationally recognized labor rights, but serious gaps 
        remain both in the country's legal regime and its enforcement 
        record, with areas of particular concern including restrictions 
        on independent unions, interference in collective bargaining of 
        independent unions, and unsafe conditions at work;
            (12) Ukraine has established exemplary relations with all 
        neighboring countries, and pursues a course of European 
        integration with a commitment to ensuring democracy and 
        prosperity for its citizens; and
            (13) Ukraine has participated with the United States in its 
        peacekeeping operations in Europe and has provided important 
        cooperation in the global struggle against international 
        terrorism.
