KIEV: Ukrainian government for the first time has resorted to a quantitative measure of Ukraine’s European integration progress, reporting about 41 percent of successfully fulfilled tasks by the end of 2017.
However, based on the results of the alternative monitoring carried out by the Ukrainian Center for European Policy within the framework of the “Navigator of the Agreement” system, we receive another result. It is very important to mention that the difference in the indicators was caused by diverse calculation methodology.
For instance, the Office of the Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine estimated implementation of the total amount of the obligations according to the European Union-Ukraine political and trade Association Agreement in 2017.
The Ukrainian Center for European Policy conducted an evaluation of legislative approximation according to Title 4 and 5. We consider these parts as obligations of great importance. Only having it fully implemented in legislation is it possible to talk about the success in the agreement’ss performance.
So, according to the annexes of Ukraine’s political and trade Association Agreement with the European Union (Title 4 and 5), from Dec. 1, 2016 until November 1, 2017, Ukraine fulfilled only 10 out of 86 commitments.
