5 YEARS OF ECONOMIC COOPERATION EUROPEAN UNION - UKRAINE IN THE LIGHT OF THE DCFTA

5 YEARS OF ECONOMIC COOPERATION EUROPEAN UNION – UKRAINE IN THE LIGHT OF THE DCFTA

We would like to invite you to watch the online broadcast of the conference “5 years of economic cooperation between the European Union and Ukraine in the light of the DCFTA agreement”, organized by the Member of the European Parliament, former Prime Minister of Poland and President of the National Bank of Poland, Professor Marek Belka and the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament.

The effect of the five years of association agreement between the European Union and Ukraine and the resulting free trade zone is a dynamic growth of mutual trade relations and economic ties.

Five years of the DCFTA is an ideal moment to reflect on these relations, consider difficulties and above all, to lean over the opportunities for increased cooperation and further integration of Ukraine with the EU’s single market.
