EU Commission believes that Ukraine fulfills Visa Liberalisation Action Plan and should receive visa-free regime soon

The European Commission, in spite of skeptical statements of some EU member states, insists that Ukraine has fulfilled the Visa Liberalisation Action Plan (VLAP) and should receive a visa-free regime soon.

This has been said in the statement of the EU Delegation to Ukraine on Facebook.

"The European Commission, in spite of skeptical statements made by some EU member states, hopes that Ukraine will receive a visa-free regime in the near future. The European Commission insists that Ukraine has fulfilled the Visa Liberalisation Action Plan and should receive a visa-free regime "very soon"," reads a statement.

It is noted that "as Ukraine successfully achieved compliance with all the indicators that are set in the Visa Liberalisation Action Plan, the European Commission proposed the EU Council and the European Parliament to lift visa requirements (for short-term visits to the EU) for the citizens of Ukraine."

"The European Commission hopes that the European Parliament and the EU Council will soon approve this proposal," the statement said.
