BRUSSELS - The European Union and Ukraine agreed the updated Association Agenda with 10 Ukrainian priority reforms at the EU-Ukraine Association Council on March 16.
“Being agreed between the Ukrainian Government and the EU and its Member States, this document constitutes the main political tool for the implementation and monitoring of the Association Agreement,” the European Council’s press service reported.
The Association Agenda outlines ten short-term reform actions that Ukraine should address as a matter of priority in the areas of constitution, elections, judiciary, anti-corruption, public administration, energy, deregulation, public procurement, taxation and external audit.
“The EU and Ukraine recognise the importance of supporting the agreed priorities through appropriate and sufficient political, technical and financial means, reconfirm their commitment to continue to work together towards Ukraine’s political association and economic integration with the EU and reiterate the importance of swift ratification of the Association Agreement by all EU Member States in accordance with their national procedures,” the press service said.
