In the paper under review the author introduces the notions of (convex) weakly compact regularity and (convex) weakly sequentially compact regularity in the setting of (LF)-spaces. An (LF)-space \((E,t)=\text{ind}_n (E_n,t_n)\) is said to be (convex) weakly compactly regular if, for each (convex) weakly compact subset \(K\) of \((E,t)\) there is \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(K\) is contained and weakly compact in \((E_n,t_n)\); \((E,t)\) is said to be (convex) weakly sequentially compactly regular if, for each (convex) weakly sequentially compact subset \(K\) of \((E,t)\) there is \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(K\) is contained and weakly sequentially compact in \((E_n,t_n)\). The author compares such new conditions with the well-known condition \((M_0)\) of \textit{V. S. Retakh} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 11, 1384-1386 (1970; Zbl 0213.12504)]. In particular, it is proved that every (LF)-space \((E,t)\) satisfying condition \((M_0)\) is convex weakly (sequentially) compactly regular and an example of an (LF)-space satisfying condition \((M_0)\) which is not weakly (sequentially) compactly regular is given. Moreover, a characterization of weakly (sequentially) compact regularity is given in the frame work of Köthe (LF)-sequence spaces \(E^p\), \(1\leq p<\infty\), introduced by Vogt [see \textit{D. Vogt}, Progress in Functional Analysis, North Holland Math. Stud. 170, 57-84 (1992; Zbl 0779.46005)].
