Moving European integration forward
Marta Kos, European Commissioner for Enlargement, responded to our joint appeal with partners to intensify efforts towards the opening of the first cluster of negotiations “Fundamentals”.
We received a clear signal from the European Commission that the efforts of Ukrainian civil society in the field of objective monitoring of the implementation of European integration requirements by our state will be taken into account and will encourage decisive and rapid action to launch the breakthroughs into a practical plane.
Yes, we agree with the EU-approved evaluation methodology, which is based on results in reforms. That is why, as a third party, we confirm that the state of Ukraine has already done its part of the work to open the first negotiation cluster. Now the EU must do its part, including in overcoming the “separate” internal resistance, which has no constructive effect on both parties concerned, but works in the interests of an external player.
With joint efforts, we must move towards solutions that will benefit Ukraine, which has the status of a candidate country, and the EU as a whole. We call on everyone to keep up the pace and continue to move our country along the path of European development.
We thank the co-initiators of the appeal — the Center for Political and Legal Reforms and the Reanimation Package of Reforms, as well as all signatories!
We are working!
