(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The European Parliament overwhelmingly approved the report on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Ukraine, in which decentralization was recognized as one of the most successful reforms.
This is said in the European Parliament's resolution of 11 February 2021 on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
'The European Parliament welcomes Ukraine's achievements of the reform on decentralisation and the empowerment of municipalities initiated in 2014, which has proven to be one of the most successful reforms so far; acknowledges the support of the U-LEAD project, resulting in the formation of almost 1,000 voluntarily amalgamated local communities with around 11.7 million citizens; assesses positively the steps taken so far with a view to decentralising public authority and public finances through a package of legal acts and their practical implementation; calls on the European Commission to study the details of the decentralisation reform closely and to potentially use it as a successful case study for other countries, the document reads.
As Ukrinform reported, the European Parliament called on Ukraine to complete the reform of a new electricity market.
