Ukraine has received the criteria for EU accession under the last three clusters
Ukraine now has the full set of criteria that must be met in order to join the EU
The Ukrainian delegation in Brussels has received the criteria (benchmarks) for accession to the European Union relating to the last three negotiation clusters.

This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko.

These are clusters 3 ‘Competitiveness and Inclusive Development’, 4 ‘Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity’ and 5 ‘Resources, Agriculture and Cohesion Policy’. The Cabinet of Ministers immediately forwarded the document containing the conditions to the Verkhovna Rada so that they could work together on implementation.

In December, Ukraine received the criteria for three other clusters: 1 ‘Fundamentals of the EU accession process’, 2 ‘Internal market’ and 6 ‘External relations’. Ukraine now has the full set of conditions that must be met to join the EU.

However, negotiations on none of the clusters have yet been officially opened.
