KIEV, Nov. 11 – The agreement on the establishment of a free trade area between Ukraine and the European Union is almost ready, but one disputable issue concerning the Association Agreement still remains - Kiev insists on mentioning the prospect of Ukraine's membership in the EU in the agreement, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"A few hours ago I received a call from Brussels and was told that the document on a free trade area between Ukraine and the EU is almost ready. Ukraine has settled for every reasonable compromise," the premier said at a meeting with a delegation of German parliamentarians in Kiev on Friday.
