The Netherlands to complete ratification of Ukraine-EU Association Agreement in January 2017 - Foreign Ministry

The Netherlands can complete the process of ratification of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement in early 2017.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine on European Integration Olena Zerkal said this at a press briefing on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"Yesterday, hearings were held at the Dutch parliament, where Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte delivered a speech and all political parties expressed their positions on further completion of the ratification of the Association Agreement.  Now I am very optimistic about the completion of this procedure in January," Zerkal said.

She added that the completion of the ratification process of the Association Agreement had been supported not only by the coalition political forces, but also by the Green Party.
