"Ukraine is a country of strategic importance to the European Union (EU). Ukraine’s size, resources, population and geographical location give it a distinctive position in Europe, making it a key regional actor which exerts considerable influence on the security, stability and prosperity of the whole continent. The EU strongly advocates a stable and democratic Ukraine that respects the principles of a social market economy, the rule of law (including an independent judiciary), human rights and the protection of minorities, and which guarantees fundamental rights. Ukraine’s political and state leadership has repeatedly confirmed its commitment to European integration and its long-term ambition to enable Ukraine to become an EU Member State, and considers an association agreement to be a key instrument in achieving this objective. Ukraine’s European perspective must be based on a policy of systematic and irreversible reforms in a number of key institutional, political, economic and social areas. The framework afforded by the association agreement will provide Ukraine with a crucial modernisation tool and a road map for steering internal domestic reforms, as well as a tool for national reconciliation, which will help the country to overcome the recent negative trends, bridge existing cleavages in Ukrainian society and unite it in its goal in relation to its European perspective, on the basis of the values of democracy, rule of law, human rights and good governance."@en1
