The European Commission expects Ukraine to fully comply with some of the commitments to launch the legislative process of abolishing the visa regime for Ukrainian citizens in the first quarter of 2016.

EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn said this before the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels on Monday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"As for Ukraine, some of the commitments, took on by the President and the Prime Minister, should be met. We expect that we will get a report on it very soon, give the necessary estimate, and present our proposals for the visa liberalization in the first quarter," the Commissioner said.

As reported, in December 2015, the European Commission praised Ukraine's progress in completing the implementation of the Action Plan on Visa Liberalization.
