MOSCOW: Experts from the EU, Russia and Ukraine met in Brussels on 7-8 July for trilateral talks with the aim of finding solutions to the concerns raised by Russia regarding implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement/Free Trade Area (AA/DCFTA), which will be provisionally applied as of 1 January 2016.
The parties held a constructive interchange of views and discussed technical regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary issues and customs cooperation, while some progress was made on the basis of concrete suggestions put forward by the EU for all areas.
The experts will continue their work in the coming weeks and further steps will be decided on this basis, including a next ministerial meeting in early September.
