Ukraine, Moldova get EU candidate status

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

Ukraine and Moldova were given candidate status in the European Union on Thursday by the European Council.

Following a summit of the 27 leaders of the EU member states in Brussels, the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, made the announcement.

Since the Russian invasion of the nation on February 24, Ukrainian leaders have pushed for accession to the regional political and economic grouping.

Last week, the European Commission had suggested giving Ukraine candidate status so that it may join the EU.

 

“The European Council recognises the European perspective of Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine,” the statement said. The European Union is where these nations’ and their inhabitants’ futures lay.

“The European Council has decided to grant the status of candidate country to Ukraine and to the Republic of Moldova.

“The Commission is invited to report to the Council on the fulfilment of the conditions specified in the Commission’s opinions on the respective membership applications as part of its regular enlargement package. The Council will decide on further steps once all these conditions are fully met.

“The progress of each country towards the European Union will depend on its own merit in meeting the Copenhagen criteria, taking into consideration the EU’s capacity to absorb new members.”
