EU may lift restrictions for Ukrainian goods within a month

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the European Union are preparing a decision on a simplified procedure for Ukrainian exports to the EU.

"The Prime Minister Arsenii Yatseniuk is on an official visit to Brussels and negotiating with the European Union regarding the lifting of restrictions on the importation of goods to the European countries from Ukraine. I think it could happen within a month," said the Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Ostap Semerak in the air of Channel 5, commenting blocking of Ukrainian goods by the Russian side on the border with Russia.

"The government has talks with the rest of the world on supply of national products, as the world consists of not only Russia," Ostap Semerak added.

"Of course, the access to the European markets in early stages will require from the Ukrainian manufacturers maximum reorienting to the European standards. But, I think it would only stimulate Ukrainian entrepreneurs to better their products, which they could sell at the European market, which is much larger than Russia," the Minister considers.

He stressed that the Ukrainian government will help in every way to everyone, without exception, Ukrainian company to move to higher quality standards. "Ukrainian economy has no political color for the Ukrainian government," Ostap Semerak added.
