Summary
Key Points: 
  • Quote
    “I strongly support renewing the trade-liberalisation measures that currently help ensure Ukrainian trade can continue amidst the brutal war caused by Russia.
  • These measures are pivotal to strengthening Ukraine’s resilience, as we work to advance Ukraine’s gradual integration into the EU internal market.
  • Our solidarity with Ukraine is consistent, transparent, and rock-solid, and it has been further reinforced by Ukraine's EU candidate status.
  • Ukraine is the EU’s 15th biggest trading partner, accounting for around 1.2% of the EU’s total trade.
