On December 8, the EU-Ukraine Association Council videoconference was to take place, which is held annually, however, Brussels decided to postpone the meeting and hold it later in person, DW reports.
Due to the pandemic, the Association Council was planned in the format of a videoconference, but such a meeting in a virtual format would be informal, because in the EU any formal meetings at the political level can only be held physically. Only at meetings in person can they make decisions.
The EU is represented at the Association Council by the High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, and Ukraine is represented by the Prime Minister.
“On December 1, the European Commission and the EU Foreign Service released a report that assessed the reforms in Ukraine, as well as the achievements and failures in the implementation of the Association Agreement over the past year. The document indicates that the latest decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine have jeopardized achievements in the fight against corruption in Ukraine. However, Brussels also pointed out positive achievements in the field of the rule of law and the fight against corruption,” the newspaper notes.
