Verheugen slams Berlin’s handling of EU-Ukraine relations | EurActiv:
"Günter Verheugen, a former European Commission vice president and heavyweight in Germany's Social Democratic party (SDP), said he saw “double-standards” in the German government's handling of Ukraine's bid to conclude an association agreement with the EU.
Verheugen, who held the EU's enlargement portfolio and engineered the 2004 expansion of the European Union, touched upon EU-Ukraine relations in a wide-ranging interview with EurActiv Poland.
Verheugen, who now works as an adviser and professor at Frankfurt's European University Viadrina, said he doubted the wisdom of Germany's position, which considers the release of imprisoned former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko as a condition for signing the association agreement in November."
