EU completes screening of final cluster in accession talks with Ukraine
Representatives of the European Union and Ukraine have completed screening meetings on the last negotiating chapter, number 11 – Agriculture and Rural Development.
Over three days of meetings, Ukraine presented 28 thematic blocks covering agricultural reform progress, digitalisation, state support, market regulation and development of the agrarian sector.
The Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine said this "demonstrated Ukraine’s readiness to integrate into the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy".
The Ukrainian delegation also outlined the level of alignment of national legislation with EU law in five areas: horizontal issues (financial and administrative structures), agricultural markets, quality policy, organic production and promotion of agricultural products.
"The European Commission positively assessed the materials presented," the ministry noted.
Chapter 11, Agriculture and Rural Development, includes a wide range of mandatory rules, most of which will apply in Ukraine upon accession without the need for additional legislation.
Proper application, enforcement and monitoring of these rules are considered critical for the functioning of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy.
In July, Ukraine successfully completed screening of the fourth cluster of accession negotiations with the EU.
