Marcin Nowacki was elected Chairman of the EU-Ukraine Civil Society Platform
Marcin Nowacki, Vice President of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers, has been elected Chairman of the EU-Ukraine Civil Society Platform within the European Economic and Social Committee. The EU-Ukraine CSP carries out institutional cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in the field of social partner contacts, in particular it monitors the process of Ukraine’s integration into the European Union.
As a result of its application for membership, which was formally accepted, Ukraine has been granted the status of candidate country for accession to the European Union. However, accession to the Community is a complex and lengthy process, during which Ukraine will have to fulfil many conditions in terms of adapting its economic, legal and political system to the rules in force inside the European Union. This is an area where ongoing cooperation and exchange of experience between European and Ukrainian social partners could prove to be a key element in speeding up and supporting the accession process.
