Visa liberalisation for Ukraine will
deliver greater freedom and more common opportunities, says Greens/EFA
MEP and Euronest co-president Rebecca Harms.
“Visa liberalisation for Ukraine is a long-awaited and overdue step, and
sends a strong signal: we belong together. This move recognises and
builds upon the wishes of the great many Ukrainians who feel orientated
towards the West and will strengthen relations between EU citizens and
Ukrainians.
"The reforms that Ukraine has undertaken to date are deeply impressive,
especially considering the war they have been forced into by Putin. This
process of change must continue. The efforts to combat corruption and
create trust in state institutions remain of central importance.
However, the changes to the law on e-declarations, which will now target
civil society, will not help achieve this. This will only create
greater mistrust."
