KREMENCHUK, July 2 – Ukraine's joining the World Trade Organization has not yet toughened competition, truck maker AvtoKraZ's deputy director general for foreign economic activities and sales, Ihor Fomenko, said the annual KraZ-2008 car show held by AvtoKraZ holding company.

"At present, Ukraine's joining the WTO has neither influenced the volume of production, nor toughened the competition. At present, we're not feeling the consequences of the country's joining the WTO, [but] maybe we will later," he said.
