The European Parliament adopted by 335 votes to 230 with 102 abstentions, a resolution on Association Agreements /Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The resolution was tabled by the EPP, S&D, ECR, ALDE, and Greens/EFA groups.
Members welcomed the efforts made by Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine in ensuring that national legislation approximates EU standards based on AA/DCFTA commitments. They recalled that the funds made available must be spent well, and that by themselves they are not enough to stabilise the economy.
Believing that parliamentary scrutiny was needed for monitoring of the implementation of the AAs/DCFTAs, Members underlined their support for the territorial integrity of all three countries.
