Teema: Join Online Debate “Ukraine’s EU Integration in Wartime” on May 24, 2023
Tähtsus: Kõrgeim
Manused: Invintation Latter_24.05.2023.docx.pdf
The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER, Ukraine) and Liberté!
Foundation cordially invite you to the public discussion «Ukraine’s EU Integration in
wartime» .
The year 2022 was a turning point in Ukraine’s relations with the EU. In June, Ukraine received
the status of a candidate country. This decision gave the country hope for a better future and
created a clear reform agenda. It also gave new meaning to the Association Agreement’s
implementation because the economic integration with the EU, which is the goal of the
Agreement, can help avoid the “candidate trap” in which the Balkans fell.
While awaiting the EU’s preliminary evaluation of Ukraine’s progress in implementing political
criteria, we want to summarize the results of the economic integration of Ukraine and the EU
in 2022 and discuss new challenges. The tentative list of questions for the discussion includes:
How Ukraine copes with the challenges of EU integration in the wartime;
Ukraine’s European integration breakthroughs of 2022;
The elements of European integration most challenged by the war;
Does the Association Agreement provide a sufficient foundation for the accession
talks?
What Ukraine’s accession means for other EU members.
The event is based on the results of the sectoral integration study conducted by the Institute
for Economic Research and Political Consulting in partnership with RAC “Society and
Environment” and DiXi Group with the financial support of the International Renaissance
Foundation, Ukraine.
The event will take place online on Zoom on May 24, 2023, from 15:00 to 16:30 CET
(16:00 to 17:30 Kyiv time).
Language: English.
