Review

Abstract. As part of the implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of March 19, 2021 “On measures to improve the level of chemical safety in Ukraine” which was enacted by Presidential Decree № 104/2021, on insufficient perfection of regulatory and organizational support chemical safety management and management systems in the country related to harmonization with the EU. In this context, it is also important to harmonize with the EU the application and understanding of terms related to chemical safety issues. One of the concepts used in Ukrainian law, but absent in the EU legal framework, is the concept of toxic substances. The purpose of the study is the expediency of amending the Criminal Code of Ukraine by replacing the concept of toxic substances with highly toxic in the context of harmonization with EU legislation. Based on the study, the authors came to the conclusion that it is appropriate to amend the Criminal Code of Ukraine by replacing the concept of toxic substances with highly toxic in the context of harmonization with EU legislation. Therefore, the authors propose making changes to the Criminal Code of Ukraine by replacing them according to their properties, and not as a subject or tool of applying the concept of “poisonous substances” to “highly toxic substances” in the context of bringing them into line with EU legislation, and removing the statues 201 and 321 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in the new editors. 

Keywords: chemicals, highly toxic, toxicity, legal security, harmonization, national security, European Union, directives, regulations.
