"Ukraine's political and economic integration with the EU is gaining new momentum. In particular, in the context of discussing the revision of the objectives of the Association Agreement and further trade liberalization. I’m confident that the first round of talks on accelerating and expanding the scope of customs tariffs lift in bilateral trade in accordance with Article 29 of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement will be held in September," the prime minister said.
