The Electoral Council of the Netherlands
has appointed the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement ratification for April 6,
2016, according to the Electoral Council of the Netherlands. noted, a voter must be a Dutch citizen, over 18 years old and
capable in order to vote in a referendum.
"If a turnout at the advisory referendum is at least 30%, the government should review the Association
Agreement," the report says.
At the same time, the council emphasized that the referendum was not
binding, and the results could not force the government to revoke the
agreement.
As reported earlier, on October 14, the Electoral Council of the
Netherlands decided, having considered an appropriate appeal, to bring the
issue of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement ratification to public democratic
debates by means of a referendum. A petition gathered nearly 428,000
signatures, far more than the 300,000 signatures required for such a vote.
On October 28, the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of the Council
of State, which is the highest administrative court, rejected the appeal
against the Association Agreement referendum.
As of today, 22 EU member states have notified the General Secretariat
of the EU Council on the completion of the ratification of the Agreement.
