Join the public online discussion "Transport Arteries of Ukraine in the Process of European Integration". During the event, IER will present the transport section of the study "Integration within the Association" – the sixth edition of an updated analysis of the dynamics of the implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement as of 2024.

Key topics include:

• Assessment of potential benefits of integration into the EU internal market.

• Analysis of progress in implementing the Association Agreement provisions.

• Recommendations for further integration between Ukraine and the EU.

• Discussion of challenges, backlogs, and progress in meeting commitments.

Speakers will explore the current state of integration in sectors such as road, rail, maritime, inland waterway, air transport, and postal services, and analyze whether these efforts suffice to meet EU membership requirements.

As Ukraine completes the legislative screening with the European Commission and prepares for negotiations on the fundamentals cluster in early 2025, the event will provide a platform to summarize the results of EU-Ukraine economic integration in 2024 and discuss new opportunities and challenges.
