The European Commission believes that the initiative of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan to create a united economic space is likely to be a good idea, if the countries simultaneously broaden heir collaboration and remove the barriers for the trade development.
Speaker of the European Commission for foreign affairs Diego December Ojeda announced it.
He underlined in an interview to "Deutsche Welle" that the European Commission knows about the initiative only from newspaper reports, and need a detailed information about the agreement between the four countries.
The European Commission press-secretary does not agree with the information that Ukraine, having agreed for the economic union with post-Soviet countries, in such a way responded to as if cool attitude of Brussels to Kyiv. As D. de Ojeda said, they never said "never" to Ukraine; the other thing is that Ukraine must approach its legislation to the EC standards, which will help Ukraine to stabilize its political situation.
