The Ukrainian parliament’s speaker said yesterday (9 September) that MPs would pass the laws required by Brussels as a pre-condition for concluding an EU pact in time for November’s Vilnius Summit, paving the way for the signature of a landmark association agreement with the European Union.

Volodymyr Rybak, the chairman of the ‘Verkhovna Rada’, the Ukrainian parliament, was quoted by the Ukrainian press as saying that the assembly would adopt the remaining laws necessary to sign the association agreement at the beginning of October, in time for the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius on 28-29 November.

Returning from a meeting in Lithuania, the country currently holding the rotating EU Presidency last Friday, Rybak stressed that “Europe appreciated the work of Ukraine, which was done over the past two months for meeting the conditions for the signature of the Agreement, in particular, on adaptation of the Ukrainian legislation to the EU standards.”"
