EU Commissioner Stefan Fule looks forward to the Ukrainian government’s implementation of its decision to sign the Association Agreement in Vilnius.

“The EU and many of Ukraine’s partners around the globe look forward to such a key step which would confirm Ukraine’s strengthened role in the world and provide a signal of predictability for international financial markets and institutions in stabilizing Ukraine’s economy and finances,” Fule said in a statement following his visit to Kiev.

“The EU’s commitment to bring EU Ukraine relations to a new quality, opening up new opportunities for the Ukrainian people, is firm. The door for such a qualitative step forward is open and we look forward to the government’s implementation of its decision of 18 September 2013 to sign the association agreement in Vilnius on 29 November 2013.”
