The issue of ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement was discussed separately.
In this connection, Hryhorii Nemyria informed his colleagues that there are no technical obstacles that would prevent the President of Ukraine from submitting the Agreement to the Parliament for ratification.
In his turn, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament Elmar Brok stressed the importance of prompt ratification of the Agreement.
“Last week the European Parliament called on Ukraine to promptly ratify the Association Agreement in order to quickly implement it. We support Ukraine on its way to Europe,” he said.
