Transport
In August, integration dynamics in the transport sector partially recovered. The main driving force behind this improvement was the development of new legislative plans. However, practical implementation and the adoption of laws remain weak points in the process.
The score for actual legislative changes remained at 0, as in July, indicating that no new legal acts directly aligning Ukraine’s transport legislation with EU standards were adopted during August.
The score for planned legislative changes increased to 0.9 (from 0 in July), reflecting an increase in legislative planning activity.
The score for agenda setting slightly decreased from 1.54 in July to 0.92 in August, suggesting a reduction in the number of official statements, strategies, and public commitments in the transport sphere.
The implementation status continued to deteriorate — from 0.28 in July to 0.26 in August, indicating low efficiency in executing existing legislative and policy decisions.
Overall, the total score rose to 0.54 in August (up from 0.42 in July). This moderate improvement in integration progress resulted primarily from greater planning activity, despite the decline in political momentum and the absence of new legislative measures.
