KYIV, Sept 22 – The number of economic discussions will be growing as Ukraine is approaching the accession to the European Union, and they will mainly touch upon agriculture since 40% of the laws that need to be streamlined with EU standards are related to agriculture, Agrarian Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Mykola Solsky has said.

"We should understand that as [Ukraine] is approaching [accession to] the European Union the number of economic discussions will grow. We should develop immunity to them, be smart and pragmatic," he said on the air of the national telethon on Friday.
