KIEV, Dec. 21 – Ukraine in February 2010 could be again included on the FATF blacklist (the Financial Action Task Force), if it does not approve a new basic profile law by December 31, according to a statement posted on the Web site of the State Committee for Financial Monitoring of Ukraine.

"In spite of the seven-year active work of the Ukrainian government and the parliament and the long-awaited approval of a new basic law by 393 people's deputies in November 2009, Ukraine has been included in 25 countries, which have a real chance of getting outside the civilized financial world and feel the burden of fines," the statement reads.
