Ukraine needs to reach agreement with the European Union on issues such as agriculture quotas and product names before an association agreement can be reached, said the head of the EU delegation to Ukraine.
EU delegation chief Jose Manual Pinto Teixeira said at a briefing in Kiev today that the two sides can close the association agreement, which has been the subject of talks for four years, as early as this year. He said reforms still are on the table and it is up to Ukraine to wrap up the agreement.
