On February 13, bilateral meetings between the representatives of Ukraine and the European Commission started in Brussels, Belgium, within the framework of the official screening of the compliance of Ukrainian legislation with EU law under Chapter 9, Financial Services, which was part of Cluster 2, Internal Market.
Bilateral meetings within the framework of the screening are an integral part of the negotiation process of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
Participating in the meetings, both offline and online, are representatives of the National Bank of Ukraine, including Kateryna Rozhkova, First Deputy Governor of the NBU, Sergiy Nikolaychuk and Oleksii Shaban, Deputy Governors of the NBU, Liudmyla Snihurska, Chief Accountant and Director of the NBU Accounting Department, as well as representatives of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission, the Deposit Guarantee Fund and the Government Office for Coordination of European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.
Ukrainian representatives noted their commitment to bringing national legislation in line with EU law and Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to European integration.
As noted at the meeting, Ukraine has all the necessary prerequisites to achieve this goal: an effective mechanism of cooperation between the Government, Parliament, the central bank and other stakeholders has been established; moreover, work is underway to strengthen the capacity to implement the necessary reforms.
The Ukrainian delegation also noted the EU’s continued support for Ukraine through ongoing and planned joint projects and programmes. (Government portal)
