In late June-July, practical training sessions were organised for officials of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. Together with international partners, a kick-off meeting and very intensive in-depth mock screenings were held in August with the Ukrainian authorities responsible for Chapter 23 of the EU acquis (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights).
On 16, 17 and 18 October, simulations were held to prepare the relevant Ukrainian delegations for meetings with representatives of the European Commission under negotiating chapters 3, 4 and 18, i.e. Right of establishment and freedom to provide services, Free movement of capital and Statistics. CPVA experts were actively involved in these preparatory meetings, providing their insights, assessments, comments and recommendations on how the Ukrainian representatives could best prepare for next month’s upcoming bilateral meetings on the above-mentioned areas.
