The European Parliament’s resolution on current developments in Ukraine, which was adopted in Strasbourg does not contain any special preferences for Kyiv regarding prospects for Ukraine’s membership of the European Union.
The document only stresses the need to grant Ukraine the prospect of EU membership if all criteria, including respect for the principles of democracy, human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, are met, i.e. in accordance with Article 49 of the Treaty on the European Union.The European Parliament welcomed «the agreement that has been reached on the conclusion of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement» and regards this agreement as «a solid basis for the possible finalization of the negotiations on an Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine.»
