The Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine as an instrument for building the European Security: some remarks on the free movement of persons

Summary/Abstract: In accordance with Article 8 of the Treaty on the European Union the EU shall establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourhood. An association agreement is one of instruments used to achieve this goal. Such an agreement is applied provisionally in relation between the EU and Ukraine. The area of freedom, security and justice (Title II of the Association Agreement) is an important part of this agreement. The area is constructed in the same way like the European Union policy based on the Article 67 of the Treaty on functioning of the European Union, to establish the free movement of persons but in conjunction with the cooperation between the EU and Ukraine with respect to external border controls, asylum, immigration and the prevention and combating of crime. The European Commission gave a positive assessment of the cooperation in December 2015, confirming that Ukraine successfully met all benchmarks under the Visa Liberalisation Action Plan from 2010. In April 2016 the European Commission proposed to the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament to lift visa requirements for the citizens of Ukraine.
