The European Commission has confirmed that in the first quarter of this
year it will propose the EU Council to introduce a visa-free regime for
Ukraine, Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations
Johannes Hahn said before the meeting, Europeiska Pravda reported.
According to
Hahn, Ukraine still has commitments made by the president and the prime
minister, which must be fulfilled. But he expects that the report will be
published soon, and after its assessment, it will be possible in the first
quarter of 2016 to propose the EU Council to introduce a visa-free regime for
Ukraine.
According to
Hahn, the same applies to Georgia.
As UNIAN
reported earlier, in December, Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and
Citizenship, Dimitris Avramopoulos said that at the beginning of 2016 the
European Commission would propose to include Ukraine in the list of countries
whose citizens could enter the Schengen area for short stays without a visa.
The EU
Council and the European Parliament should make their decisions in the
abolition of visas.
