Diplomats polemicise over Ukraine’s EU membership perspective | EurActiv
Speaking at a conference organised by the European Policy centre (EPC) yesterday (2 June), Kostyantin Yelisieiev, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the EU, made an appeal for his country to be given a clear membership perspective to the European Union.
In principle, the signature of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement (AA) could be accompanied by a preamble, in which the accession perspective could be included.
The bulk of the EU-Ukraine AA is expected to be signed at the 26-27 June EU summit. Ukraine signed the political chapters of the AA last March [read more], but the main text, containing a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) was left for signature after the presidential elections, which were held on 25 May. Moldova and Georgia are also expected to sign their AAs at the summit.
