At the conference organized by the Institute of World Policy Valentyn Nalyvaichenko noted that during the EU Summit in Vilnius Ukraine has to use its chance and sign the Association Agreement with the EU and Free Trade Zone Agreement.   

“We see this signing as a possibility to reform country drastically, Ukraine as a space for corruption and injustice is not interested to Europe,” First Deputy Chairman of the Committee stressed.

According to him, signing the Agreement with the EU would give incentive to such processes in Ukraine as fight against corruption, reforming judicial system, discontinuation of selective justice; it would open free access to the strategically important market of the European Union, educational and cultural spaces to our citizens.

"In Parliament we do everything possible to advance the European future of Ukraine. We prefer to vote for those bills that are necessary for signing the Association Agreement and demand from executive power fulfillment of all the conditions for effective and successful Vilnius summit" V.Nalyvaichenko stressed.
