This review contributes to the gradual integration of Ukraine into the EU’s Single Market and illustrates that the EU’s commitment to supporting Ukraine is as firm as ever. Once adopted, the reviewed DCFTA will be beneficial for both sides, by providing a framework for long-term economic certainty and stable trade relations.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said: “With this modernised agreement, we are securing trade flows from Ukraine to Europe and global markets. And we are also building bridges of resilience and economic solidarity in the face of Russia’s unjustified war of aggression. At the same time, we continue to safeguard the interests of our farmers. Ukraine’s place is in the family. We remain committed to a path of mutual growth and stability, leading to its full integration in our Union.”
