Strategic goal: Ukraine’s accession to the European Union

Tasks:

  1. Facilitate the effective implementation of reforms included in the Fundamental Reforms cluster as part of the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
  2. Promote the involvement of civil society in the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
  3. Promote advocacy of civil society’s achievements at the international level (among the EU institutions and EU member states).
  4. Promote the building of an effective institutional structure within the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the EU and the alignment of Ukrainian legislation to the acquis communautaire.
  5. Promote effective monitoring of the progress of Ukrainian legislation’s alignment to the acquis communautaire and fulfilment of Ukraine’s obligations within the European integration processes.

Indicators of achieving the goal:

  1. Both parties (the European Commission and the Government of Ukraine) involve representatives of civil society in the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
  2. Cooperation with European institutions, politicians, and institutions and diplomatic missions of EU member states is constantly improving.
  3. Regular events are held to advocate the achievements of the Ukrainian civil society, including advocacy visits within the EU, as well as conferences and discussions both in Ukraine and abroad.
  4. Cooperation with the media, think tanks, and CSOs in the EU member states is being enhanced, in particular to inform the expert community on the state of implementation of reforms necessary for Ukraine’s European integration.
  5. Research is being conducted on creating an effective model of the negotiation process in Ukraine, followed by subsequent advocacy for such model.
  6. Regular monitoring of the state of implementation of Ukraine’s European integration tasks and harmonisation of Ukrainian legislation with the acquis communautaire is carried out, followed by informing stakeholders on the results of such monitoring.

Main achievements of the area:

  1. CPLR experts joined the independent monitoring of Ukraine’s implementation of the European Commission’s recommendations presented during the granting of candidate status to Ukraine. Experts assessed the state of compliance with the requirements related to the implementation of judicial and law enforcement reforms.
