The EU association agreement - Maidan #Ukraine #EU

The EU association agreement - Maidan:

I offer a supportive voice to that of Taras Danko, who wrote recently:

“The mechanisms of EU’s Eastern Partnership should provide the facilities for assisting Ukraine in order to eliminate the domino effect on other European economies. While the macroeconomic steps that could be taken are quite clear – free markets, elimination of corruption, rule of law, improved investment climate – the particular branches of industries, SMEs, as well as major corporations also need their own action plans for getting into the safe waters. The EU expertise as well as technical assistance to Ukraine can do a lot in this respect.”

In 2008, through an initiative known as the EU Citizens Consultation, such a support program was proposed, with a primary focus on the childcare system. It drew attention to the HIV epidemic which had become a threat to all Europe:

In 2012 it was drawn to the attention of EU Commissioner Michel Bernard through the democratic process of a complaint channelled through MEP Sir Graham Watson.

I leave it for Ukrainians to decide to what extent they will experience democracy as a result of this agreement"
