Experts from the Oleksandr Razumkov Centre for Economic and Political Studies recommend the Cabinet of Ministers to establish a National Agency for European Integration.
It became known from an analytical report entitled "Hundred days of new power: evaluation of actions in the context of observing democratic values".
In particular, experts offer to form legal basis enabling the agency, as the chief body in shaping and pursuing Ukraine's European integration policy in the system of central bodies of executive power, to efficiently perform coordination functions at the interagency level, to work out and create the right strategies and program documents concerning integration of Ukraine into the European Union.
Besides, experts are suggesting that the Cabinet work out a new variant of the Strategy of Ukraine's Integration in European Union, considering current state of cooperation with the EU, results of implementation of the Ukraine - EU Action Plan, prospects of concluding a new, enhanced agreement with the EU.
As it was reported, in December 2007, Foreign Affairs Minister Volodymyr Ohryzko said the main priority in the Ministry's intensions should be given to preparation of the new enhanced agreement between Ukraine and the European Union.
This year one more time the European Parliament revealed the idea of giving Ukraine a prospect of membership in the European Union in the new agreement between Ukraine and the European Union.
Ukraine and the EU had agreed to extend their existing Partnership and Cooperation Agreement if the signing of a new, enhanced agreement is delayed.
This year Ian Boag, the head of the European Commission's delegation to Ukraine, announced an opinion that the negotiations between Ukraine and the European Union on the new agreement would take more than one year. |
