Highlight: Association Agreement
In June 2014, Ukraine finally signed the Association Agreement with the EU. A provisional application of the Agreement started on November 1, covering such areas of Ukraine-EU cooperation as the respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and rule of law; political dialogue and reform; justice, freedom and security; and economic and financial cooperation. The application of Title IV – deep and comprehensive free trade agreement (DCFTA) – will start in January 2016 as its implementation was postponed under the pressure from Russia. To compensate the delay in the implementation of the DCFTA, the EU prolonged a regime of autonomous trade preferences (ATPs) till the end of 2015.
