October 5, 2005.
*** The European Commission today issued this clarification, on the state of play concerning preparations for negotiations with Ukraine on visa facilitation:
"The Commission submitted a draft negotiating mandate for visa facilitation to the Council in August. The document is being discussed in the appropriate Council Working Groups. We hope that the mandate will be approved shortly, so that we can launch negotiations with Ukraine on visa facilitation before our Summit meeting in December. Progress in the ongoing negotiations for a EC-Ukraine readmission agreement remains essential."
