Ukrainian minister hails cooperation memorandum with Eurasian Economic Commission
KYIV. July 4 (Interfax) - The memorandum deepening cooperation between Ukraine and the Eurasian Economic Commission is a victory of Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara said.
"I think Ukraine has won a victory in its relations with the Customs Union: we have signed a memorandum in regard to the observer status," Kozhara told Channel 5 on Thursday night.
The memorandum gives Kyiv access to information about Customs Unions operations. Ukraine may consolidate its position without having the vote, the minister said.
Negotiations with the Customs Union were absolutely transparent and European partners were aware of the Kyiv intentions to cooperate with that organization, he added.
Ukrainian authorities comply with the law and pursue a strategic objective of European integration while developing broad cooperation with the Customs Union, Kozhara concluded.
