UKRAINE'S INTEGRATION INTO THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY: PROTECTING ECONOMIC INTERESTS, KIEF 2024

The EU membership negotiation process begun by Ukraine this summer is a crucial step towards its full membership, opening up new opportunities but also posing significant challenges for the country. The implementation of the EU Acquis will be a crucial challenge, since the success of this process will not only determine the future of the Ukrainian economy, but also its place on the EU economic map.
This panel discussion will focus on how Ukraine can effectively negotiate, implement EU norms and attain favorable conditions that will enable Ukrainian industries to compete on equal terms with the European ones. The participants will discuss strategies for protecting Ukraine's economic interests to facilitate its successful integration into the EU single market.
