KIEV, July 19 – The introduction of European standards for cement production in Ukraine would help to restrict opportunities for producing and spreading counterfeit products on the market, Ukrcement cement producers' association CEO Roman Skilsky said.

"We declare that from January 1, 2017 we, as the sector, could switch to production and testing of cement under new standards. We believe that the new standards would help to cut off, or at least narrow the opportunities for companies producing counterfeit products," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
