“On 17th November, the committee of the EU Council gave a consent to the visa-free regime for Ukraine. But procedurally, even when on 24th November the European Parliament will vote for, it still has to be approved by the EU Council. And this procedure can be performed only in 21 days. Only after that the decision will be issued in the Journal of the European Court and a visa-free regime will start to work”, – said the Deputy head of the European Party of Ukraine, the Chairman of the Odessa City Organization of the Rarty, Ruslan Chernolutsky on the TV channel NewsOne today.
“And if on 24th November at the summit Ukraine-EU, the EU hear Ukraine and give us a visa-free regime, through all these procedures it will be implemented only next year. But at the same time there will be implemented a so-called suspension mechanism in case of a breach of visa-free regime. Also, I want to note that more likely in 2-3 years there will be a parallel legal regime of migration control”, – he said.
“So this will not give us an opportunity to travel to Schengen countries only by passport. It will certainly facilitate the process of entry-exit. But connsidering the fact that we have a war in our country, migration control will be strict”, – said Ruslan Chernolutskiy.
