The European Commission’s report on Ukrainian legislation’s conformity with EU legislation in order to join the EU is at the final stage.

The European Commission is completing the preparation of an analytical report on the compliance of Ukrainian legislation with EU legislation, which is an addition to the primary conclusion regarding the decision to grant Ukraine candiate status for EU membership, EC representative Ana Pisonero said. She noted that the European Council granted Ukraine candidate status on the condition that specific steps would be taken. These steps are necessary reforms of the Constitutional Court, the continuation of judicial reform, the fight against corruption, including the appointment of the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor’s office, the fight against money laundering, the implementation of the anti-oligarch law, the harmonization of audiovisual legislation with European legislation, and changes in the legislation on national minorities. After the specified conditions are met, negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU will begin.
