Chentsov: Second, third negotiation clusters to help create conditions for participation in EU single market

Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Vsevolod Chentsov, announced on Tuesday that the second and third negotiation clusters on Ukraine's accession to the European Union will help establish conditions for participation in the single market. Chentsov made these remarks in Luxembourg before the commencement of the fourth intergovernmental conference, where the second and third negotiation clusters on Ukraine's EU membership are set to be officially launched.

Chentsov emphasized that today marks a significant milestone, as the opening of these two clusters focuses on the single market, competitiveness, and inclusive growth. He highlighted that these clusters aim to create a conducive environment for Ukraine's integration into the single market. Furthermore, Chentsov expressed gratitude to those who have supported Ukraine's progress towards EU accession, stating that the country is not only defending itself against Russian aggression but is also undergoing complex reforms, making it unique in this regard.

Chentsov underscored the importance of maintaining momentum, as Ukraine has been diligently working to open all negotiation clusters by the end of the year. He expressed confidence in achieving this goal, stating that there is a good chance of success. Chentsov eagerly anticipated the decisive steps taken during the conference and continued to move forward on Ukraine's path towards EU membership.
