The European Commission noted the appropriate level of organization of joint work of all stakeholders following the first year of implementation of the Ukraine Facility program.
The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine reported this, Ukrinform reports.
On February 26, representatives of the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Finance met with the delegation of the European Commission. The participants of the meeting discussed the status of the implementation of the steps of the Ukrainian plan within the framework of the Ukraine Facility.
The European Commission confirmed its readiness to continue supporting Ukraine in implementing strategic reforms on its path to the EU and to provide the necessary macro-financial assistance.
The parties also discussed the organization of the monitoring and control system. In particular, the discussion focused on the methodology for avoiding double financing within the framework of investment indicators and the principles of collecting information about recipients – procurement participants receiving funds for goods and services from the state budget.
“The high assessment from the European Commission confirms that we are moving in the right direction,” commented First Deputy Minister of Economy Alexey Sobolev.
