The European Union has suspended assistance to Ukraine under some programs, Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Jose Manuel Pinto Teixeira has said.

"It is hard for me to assess our assistance in terms of quantity. I can say that one-and-a-half or two years ago, Ukraine showed very good results regarding the use of the assistance that was provided by the EU and the assistance that was provided through the instruments of the European Neighborhood Policy," he said in an interview with the Window to Europe program, which was broadcast on Ukraine’s Channel 5 on Friday evening.

He said that over the past one-and-a-half years, there were problems linked to the use of this assistance.

"Now it’s less clear how all activities associated with the use of EU assistance, an increase in the number of administrative barriers and other difficulties are being coordinated," Teixeira said.
