BRUSSELS, Feb. 5 – The issue of the possible postponement or cancellation of the upcoming EU-Ukraine summit hasn't been raised in Brussels, and neither has been the issue of banning entry to any Ukrainian officials been considered, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule said on the eve of his trip to Ukraine on February 7-8.
When asked about the possible cancellation or postponement of the February 25 summit due to the new charges brought against former Ukrainian premier Yulia Tymoshenko, Fule said that the date of the summit had been agreed, and the preparations for the summit were ongoing.
"I believe this summit will be extremely important in terms of results and expectations. This summit will make sure that this road map between 'now and the Vilnius summit' will be accompanied by the Ukrainian side delivering on its requirements, which will allow us to sign the Association Agreement in Vilnius. I do not see reasons even for speculating about not having the summit," the European commissioner said.
