"I intended to present my report before summer but, unfortunately, due to the outcome of the UK referendum, some committee meetings have been cancelled and the agendas postponed. That is why my report will be presented on the 5th of September," Rapporteur of the European Parliament on the visa liberalization for Ukraine, Mariya Gabriel, told UNIAN.

According to Gabriel, the report will become available during the summer.

"I received a lot of information from the European Commission and the Ukrainian authorities. I want to commend the Ukrainian side for their excellent cooperation. The signals received on the progress achieved are positive. My report will support the proposal of the Commission and explain the evaluation of all the information received, in reaching the conclusion that the EP should, indeed, support visa liberalisation for Ukraine," she said.

This proposal stems from the positive assessment in December 2015 by the European Commission of Ukraine's fulfillment of all provisions of its Visa Liberalization Plan.

On July 11, EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn expressed his hope that Ukraine's visa-free regime would be decided no later than October. "I'm sure we'll be able to make a final decision early in autumn," he said.
