Previously, in the Netherlands threatened to refuse to ratify the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. One of the requirements of the EU must declare that the Association agreement with Ukraine does not mean additional obligations or security of a financial nature. The Netherlands also need to recognize that the agreement will provide the Ukrainians the right to freely live and work in the EU. One of the most controversial points – and he still is not agreed, concerns the possible membership of Ukraine in EU.
The EU has promised to find a compromise and to negotiate with the Netherlands in the near future.
