Moscow does not require modification of the text of the Treaty on the deep and comprehensive free trade area between Ukraine and the European Union, said Russia's envoy to the EU Vladimir Chizhov. "We realize that the text that has been ratified by most EU countries, no new passages will not stick. Maybe it will be some agreement between Russia, Ukraine and the EU, is not legally related to the Agreement on unity, but synchronized in time, " he told the news Agency. How Chizhov said, "seems meaningless and further delaying its entry into force. "" fifteen months is a sufficient period to discuss our concerns and to find solutions. Yes, fifty percent of the term has passed, and We have not progressed much. However, it would be wrong to say that the dialogue in the deadlock. Those proposals that the Minister of economic development of Russia Alexei Ulyukayev came to Brussels (on a trilateral dialogue with the European Commission and Ukraine on 19 may), they are mostly taken into consideration, - said Chizhov. Speaking about the future of the negotiating process, he said that " approximately in the middle of July will be a new Ministerial meeting, and before that specialists in 6 areas will conduct the necessary preparatory work."" I wish to note, the last round took place in a constructive atmosphere than the previous one, " the Russian permanent representative. A free trade area between Ukraine and the European Union, the introduction of which is part of the Treaty on the unity must earn in full from 1 January 2016. Russia made a proposal to postpone the introduction of the free trade zone before January 1, 2017, However, Kiev has not shown enthusiasm in this matter. At the end of April, the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that Kiev wants for 5 years to provide the implementation of the agreement with the European Union about the unity and achieve the conditions for applying for EU membership. Recall, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the European Parliament on 16 September 2014 ratified the Association agreement between Kyiv and Brussels, However, the use of a free trade agreement has been postponed 2016.
