“In the Council, I will be obliged to assess when we are ready to include this topic on the agenda of the European Council. I will consult with all actors to assess when the best time will come and we will be ready to hold this debate at Council of Europe level … Whether it will be in June or later, I cannot say today, “said the European Council President.
Ukraine's application is already undergoing all the necessary procedures at an accelerated pace.
“In fact, a few days after we received the application, we quickly made a decision, instructing the European Commission to provide its conclusions. . This usually lasts 8-9 months. The de facto decision was made in a few days, “Michel added.
Asked whether it is possible that Ukraine's membership will be granted before all the necessary reforms are carried out, the agency's interlocutor said: “It is obvious that this is a reform-based process, because membership is a common approach – rule of law, independence of justice, fight against corruption, single market, economic reforms. “
