Amendment of the EC-Ukraine Agreement on the facilitation of the issuance of visas

The Parliament gives its consent to the amended Visa Facilitation Agreement with Ukraine, signed by the Commission, allowing people to move more easily and strengthening ties between the citizens of Ukraine and the European Union.
 
These changes will enable easier freedom of movement for, amongst others, representatives of civil society, non-governmental organisations and journalists.
 
It is a positive signal to the people of Ukraine that the EU is firmly committed to strengthening relations between the citizens of EU and Ukraine.
