In May 2010 President Viktor Yanukovych promised to adopt in June 2010 the legislation necessary for creating a free trade zone between Ukraine and the European Union. Yanukovych expected visas between Ukraine and EU member states to be abolished and that a free trade zone will be created by March 2011.[32]

The current Azarov Government continues to pursue EU-integration. During May and June 2010 both Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kostyantyn Hryshchenko stated that integration into Europe has been and remains the priority of domestic and foreign policy of Ukraine.[33][34][35] The policies of the Azarov Government do not exclude EU integration, the EU Commissioner for Enlargement Štefan Füle stated on May 12, 2010.[36]

"An action plan for Ukraine toward the establishment of a visa-free regime for short-stay travel" between the European Council and Ukraine was agreed on November 22, 2010.[9] This roadmap requests major improvements in Ukrainian border control, migration and asylum policies.[10]

Attempts to change the French constitution are currently being attempted in order to remove the compulsory referendum on all EU accessions after Croatia resulted in a new clause requiring compulsory referendums on the accession of all countries with a population of more than 5% of the EU's total population; this clause would apply to Ukraine and Turkey.[37]

On 4 June 2009 some media outlets reported that Germany's Free Democratic Party openly stated in its programme that Ukraine has the right for the EU membership in the long term. This was the first major German political party to state this.[38]

European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton warned Ukraine that although the talks on the Association Agreement with Ukraine would continue, the ratification process of this treaty "will face problems if there is no reversal in the approach of Ukrainian authorities" towards the trial of former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko.[39]This association agreement has to be ratified by all member states and the European Parliament for the document to take effect.[39]

[edit]Popular support to EU integration of Ukraine

In 2004 56% of Ukrainians were for EU membership and 16% against.[40] In January 2008 63% of Ukrainians said they were in favour of joining the bloc. Western Ukraine was found to be generally more enthusiastic than Eastern Ukraine, but in most regions a majority thought their lives would improve faster if their country were inside the EU.[41] A 2009 poll indicated 20 to 34% support from the Ukrainian people for membership.[25] As of December 2008 44.7% of all Ukrainians find it necessary for Ukraine to enter the European Union and 35.2% see no necessity in Ukraine's entering the EU.[42] In May 2010 53% of Ukrainians older than 16 would like their country to join the European Union in the future.[43] Citizens aged between 20-39 and residents of Central and Western Ukraine appeared to be the strongest supporters of joining the EU.[43]

Ukraine's EU ambassador, Kostyantyn Yeliseyev, notes that business tycoons and politicians from Ukraine's Russian east as much pro-EU as the west of the country: "If any politician today in Ukraine declared himself to be against European integration, he would be politically dead."[8]
