European Commission Progress Report: Ukraine meets criteria for visa liberalisation
On Friday, December 18, the European Commission adopted the sixth and
last progress report on the implementation by Ukraine of its Visa
Liberalisation Action Plan (VLAP). The progress report highlights the
significant headway made by Ukraine to meet the criteria for visa
liberalisation.
At a Government
session on December 18, Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk welcomed
the decision of the European Commission and called it a result of the joint
work: “When we work together,
we always succeed. It is the result of the work of the President of Ukraine,
who was in Brussels. It is the result of the work of the Government, and it is
the result of the work of the Ukrainian Parliament that despite all the
difficulties supported the government's initiative and voted in favour of the necessary laws".
"This is a significant step on the way towards
our European integration, when Ukrainian citizens get a chance to travel across
the territory of our Europe without visas, as Ukraine is a part of the European
family", said Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
