Kiev: Ukraine needs to implement 2,739 legal acts for becoming a member of the European Union (EU), Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Friday.

"This is our scope of work for the coming years, which we shall do. We understand how to do it," Shmyhal was quoted as saying by the government press service.

In total, about 28,000 EU legal acts have been analyzed for compliance with Ukrainian legislation, and some 23,000 of them do not require implementation during the membership negotiation process, Shmyhal said.
