The book is devoted to the analysis of the legal nature of principles and values of the European Union, their ethimology and genesis, as well as their place and role in the legal order of the EU and Ukraine. One can argue that in the contemporary legal order of the European Union principles and norms that are enshrined in the founding documents of the European Union, stipulate the founding basics of the legal system of the EU. Besides, they execute the regulatory function in the relations between an individual and society. It is pointed out in the work, that principles and values appeared in the European Union law not at the same time. If principles were fixed in the first founding treaties when they were concluded, then the provisions on values were included in the founding treaties only recently, that is in the latest Lisbon edition of 2007. The EU principles and values acquire the particular importance in the course of the conclusion of international agreements with the third countries. With this regard the provisions of the Association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and its Member States are being investigated.

The book is devoted to the analysis of the mechanisms of the realization of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU in the internal legal order of Ukraine, which provides for the country a perspective of its integration in the Union internal market upon the creation of the free trade area. The book shows that the realization of the Association Agreement is carried out on the international and national levels and is exercised by various means: accession by Ukraine to international treaties, making national laws consistent with legal acts of EU institutions, recognition by Ukraine of national standards of EU Member States, mutual recognition of rules of the other side etc. The effective use of the implementation legal tools requires from Ukraine to improve the legal instruments for it. The process of reforming will require from Ukraine more precise formulation of the primacy of international law over the rules of domestic law; improvement of legal technique with regard to the application of international legal norms, using the experience of EU member states in general reception of EU law and practice of its application in the domestic law of particular states.
