Last year, Ukraine spent a considerable amount of time and effort implementing the European integration action plan's provisions that the country had failed to fulfill in 2016, hence a mere 41% result in 2017
According to the government office's reply to a request by Europeiska Pravda online newspaper, in 2016, progress in the implementation of the Association Agreement was only 34%. "So in order to comply with the legal logic and proper action sequence, in 2017, Ukraine spent a considerable amount of time and effort implementing measures not completed in 2016," the government office explained.
Thus, in 2017, Ukraine fulfilled 29% of its obligations for 2016, as well as 41% of the obligations stipulated in the Association Agreement for 2017.
