"Commissioner, your report on Ukraine today was very clear. Ukraine has the prospect of accession to the EU and we have the instruments to make that prospect a credible option.
This election was closely fought, but it was a democratic one and, for us, that is the news of the day. Basically, the close contest has exposed how complicated this country is. Ukraine is a multi-ethnic and a multi-confessional country and one with a very chequered history, which is something we have to take into account. I think that we, both the European Parliament and Europe as a whole, should use all means to encourage some sort of productive dialogue within Ukraine, a dialogue that would strengthen the Ukrainian state and society from within.
Attaching labels to this country or spreading any kind of prejudice about it would be a negative thing. I do not think we have done this in the past and I hope we will not do so in the future, either."@en1
