"Although the present turbulent domestic politics in Ukraine have weakened the country’s negotiating position, they must be seen as part of a democratic process. EU integration continues to be the top priority for Ukrainian foreign policy. I welcome the report by my colleague Mr Zbigniew Zaleski. It highlights many key elements and emphasises the progress Ukraine has made since the Orange Revolution.
I firmly believe that without the EU’s intensive support for Ukraine’s accession to the WTO, it would probably not have become a member of this important organisation in May 2008. Just as in the case of the WTO, Ukraine now needs the EU’s support once again.
During the 11th meeting of the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee that took place in Kiev and Krym last week, I became even more convinced that the EU must be prepared to support Ukraine’s efforts, both technologically and financially. On the other hand, Ukraine must implement the necessary reforms, in particular in its services sector, and hold ambitious negotiations with the EU."@en1
