Ukrainian government tells how "screening" meeting with European Commission on key negotiating chapter will be held
A three-day meeting between representatives of Ukraine and the European Commission on one of the key negotiating chapters begins in Brussels on 17 September.
This is the second bilateral EU-Ukraine session within the framework of the screening of the compliance of Ukrainian legislation with EU law, and it will take place in Brussels on 17-19 September. The meeting is dedicated to negotiating Chapter 23, Judiciary and Fundamental Rights.
The Ukrainian delegation is headed by Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, and will also include other government officials and MPs.
"The agenda of the meeting includes reports on three blocks: Judiciary, Anti-Corruption Policy and Fundamental Rights. Chapters 23, Judiciary and Fundamental Rights, and 24, Justice, Freedom, Security, are the most important chapters throughout the negotiation process. No EU negotiating chapter will be closed until the benchmarks within these two chapters are met," the Ministry of Justice said.
