EU/Ukraine Association Agreement: treatment of third country nationals legally employed as workers in the territory of the other party

2013/0151B(NLE)

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report by Claude MORAES (S&D, UK) on the draft Council decision on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part, as regards provisions relating to the treatment of third-country nationals legally employed as workers in the territory of the other party.

Members recommended that the European Parliament should give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement given the close historical relationship and the progressively closer links between the European Union and Ukraine and the current political situation within the European neighbourhood.
