The member states of the Customs Union have not expressed readiness to hold trilateral consultations between Ukraine, the European Union and the Customs Union to discuss the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, Ukraine's representative in the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Viktor Suslov said.
“This issue has been raised and it will be considered. The readiness to participate in the consultations has not been expressed. First of all, the Russian side will consider such a possibility,” Suslov said.
As reported, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, at a meeting of the High Eurasian Economic Council on September 25, proposed to hold trilateral consultations in the format Ukraine-EU-Customs Union to discuss the signing of the Association Agreement and the creation of a free trade area between Ukraine and the EU.
