EU AMBASSADOR DOESN'T EXPECT DEFAULT IN

UKRAINE AFTER IT SIGNS ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT MONDAY


30 SEPTEMBER 2013

EDITOR
The head of the European Union's delegation to Ukraine Jan Tombinski said he believes that the Sergey
signing of the association agreement with the EU will give impetus to the more successful Veshchikov
development of Ukraine. "Over the past few weeks we have heard the catastrophic forecast that the +38 044 354 2615
signing of the association agreement will result in a default in Ukraine, but I'm pleased that the
Ukrainian authorities realized that these predictions were wrong," the diplomat said at the press EDITOR
conference. He said Ukrainian authorities believe that a more successful development of Ukraine will Oleksandr
start after the signing of the agreement. However, Ukraine still needs to implement reforms in Ovcharenko
business environment to attract European companies and their investment into the Ukrainian +38 044 354 2615
market, Tombinski said. As reported, the Russian presidential advisor Sergei Glazyev said that
Ukraine was at risk of default if the association agreement with the EU was signed.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT TO RATIFY ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH


UKRAINE BY MAY
Vice-Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade Pawel Zalewski has said
he believes that the European Parliament will ratify the association agreement with Ukraine by May
2013 and that informal consent to the provisional application of certain provisions of the agreement,
including its deep and comprehensive free trade area, has already been given. Speaking about the
need to obtain the consent of the European Parliament on the provisional application of the
association agreement after its signing, he said that such informal consent had already been given.
He also recalled that the European Parliament was only one of the parliaments, which should ratify
the Association Agreement, as the document is also be ratified by all national parliaments of the EU,
which, in his opinion, "will take years."

$68.30 billion, the Ministry of Finance reported. As a whole since the beginning of the year the state
debt has increased by 6% (or by $3.9 billion) due to the fact that the Finance Ministry actively placed

foreign currency. As reported, in 2012 the total state debt of Ukraine increased by $5.3 billion, or
