As a result, the process of creating new jobs and the development of small and medium-sized businesses is substantially suspended. Following the signing of the Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, the reduction of corruption has become a prerequisite for a further convergence with Europe. Purpose. The article aims to prove that the progressive experience of the European countries can be effectively used by Ukraine, taking into account many similarities with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Method (methodology).
