The International Centre for Chemical Safety and Security (ICCSS) has strengthened its cooperation with the Ukrainian Fire and Technological Safety Union and the Ukraine's Ministry of Health's Sanitary Regulatory Committee. The agreements are the result of multilateral, Kiev talks related to reduction of chemical hazards and fire safety strengthening;  the agreements have also been official confirmed with separate Memoranda of Understanding (MoU).

 Polish and Ukrainian partners agreed that chemical safety and security as well as fire protection enhancement in Ukraine require integration with European institutions.  The cooperation scheme includes continuous information exchange on chemical safety and security as well as fire-safety in Poland and Ukraine. The list of areas which require special attention will also be drawn.  The scheme objective is to provide the Ukrainian partner with the best practices as well as promote professionalism and skill development of the Ukrainian security services.

 ICCSS recommended the Ukrainian partner to implement the Train the Trainers program designed to provide training for Ukraine's specialised services in the context of chemical and fire risk prevention.  Besides the International Centre for Chemical Safety and Security (ICCSS), the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT) and the Central Customs Office are involved in the program. These institutions will work to upgrade technical resources as well as modernise and reinforce the Polish-Ukrainian border region. As the result of the cooperation, Polish-Ukrainian border zone will gain the status of a high-security area with regards to chemical and environmental safety.

 The Polish-Ukrainian cooperation is an important element in the implementation of the EU Association Agreement and Ukraine's expansion to European markets. The International Centre for Chemical Safety and Security is the process incubator through development of chemical and environmental safety and security, enhancement and provision of adequate crisis management.

 The  Ukrainian Fire and Technological Safety Union and the Ukraine's Ministry of Health's Sanitary Regulatory Committee have already confirmed their presence at the Ukraine Chemical Security Forum held on 18 April 2016 within the scope of the Global Chemical Safety and Security Summit.  The Forum constitutes an integral part of the Integrated Chemical Safety and Security Program (ICSSP) in Ukraine.
