On the occasion of the deposit of its instrument of ratification, Ukraine has made the following statements:

Declaration on Art. 7:

Ukraine declares that, in accordance with part two of Article 7 of the Agreement, it will suspend the application of this Agreement to those contracting parties which apply part one of Article 7 to Ukraine.

Declaration on Art. 11:

In accordance with Art. 11 of the Agreement, the Government of Ukraine declares that the list of documents referred to in Article 1 (1) reads:

	-the passport of the citizens of Ukraine for travel abroad
	-the diplomatic passport
	-the service passport
	-the children's travel document
	-the seaman identity card (subject to the boarding list of the ship or of a trainee)

The agreement entered into force on 1 July 2006 in accordance with its Article 9 for Ukraine.
