Ukraine ready for negotiation clusters by end of November – Kos
European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos has once again stated that, based on the results of the screening process of the legislation of Ukraine and Moldova for compliance with the European one, there are all grounds for the European Council to decide to open the negotiation clusters by the end of November.
She stated this on Tuesday in Brussels, presenting the Enlargement Package to the meeting of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs.
"The screening process with Moldova and Ukraine has been completed, and the (European) Commission will continue its work so that the (European Council) can open all the clusters by the end of November, and I very much hope that this will happen," Kos said.
At the same time, the European Commissioner stressed that the main principle in the enlargement policy is based on merit. "So when we say that if the member states are fulfilling their obligations, and I can really prove, because I have evidence in this report, that they are fulfilling their obligations, then the EU must also fulfill its obligations," Kos said.
