President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko had a phone conversation with
President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker.
The Head of State congratulated Jean-Claude Juncker on the first
anniversary of the new composition of the European Commission and highly
evaluated its constant and comprehensive support for Ukraine.
Petro Poroshenko emphasized that the victory of democratic and
pro-Ukrainian forces during the local elections of October 25 created an
opportunity for acceleration of the process of reforms, first of all in the
sphere of anti-corruption policy.
The Presidents discussed efforts of the Ukrainian authorities on the
creation of institutional and legislative framework for struggle against
corruption, which is particularly important in the context of ensuring progress
in the issue of introduction of the visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens, as
well as the fulfillment of Ukraine's obligations aimed to receive
macro-financial assistance from the European Union.
In this regard, the parties agreed to organize the visit of European
Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Dimitris Avramopoulos
to Ukraine in the nearest time.
The Presidents praised the completion of ratification of the Association
Agreement between Ukraine and the EU in the Czech Republic and the Republic of

Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmstrom to Ukraine that will take place on
November 12-13.
The President of Ukraine informed the President of the European
Commission on the situation in Donbas and the fulfillment of the Minsk
agreements. The Head of State emphasized an exceptional importance of
preserving solidarity and unity of the EU in the issue of sanctions against
Russia and ensuring the restoration of territorial integrity of Ukraine.
