23-07-2009 16:30 Ukraine-EU free trade zone talks nearly over
Negotiations on the creation of 'an enhanced in-depth free trade zone' between Ukraine and the European Union are coming to an end, Deputy Prime Minister Hryhoriy Nemyria has told a news conference Thursday.
He noted that 'this is a very important factor [free trade zone talks], which, I believe, is now taken into account by many investors from the point of view of their presence in Ukraine'. H. Nemyria also believes that this will become one of the crucial points for further integration of Ukraine with the EU, economic first of all. Ukraine and the EU discussed steps to intensify a negotiation process to create a free trade zone. The quality and matter of the instrument is crucial for Ukraine, as well as to what extent the document will take into account the interests of the Ukrainian goods producers and provide a possibility for full, but not 'virtual' access in the EU domestic market. Ukraine and the EU had launched talks on free trade zone on February 18, 2008.
