Wants someone or not, but the Agreement on the Association of Ukraine with the European Union finally and fully entered into force on September 1. Moreover, the event is more symbolic, because in fact the majority of the provisions of the treaty have already operated earlier, albeit in a temporary regime.
It is interesting that the news was mainly focused on the Russian media, which continue to frighten the scammers about the incorrectness of this choice of ordinary citizens of the young state, and the Ukrainian authorities, which obviously exaggerate their services to the electorate. Local media preferred either to keep silent, or to illuminate the accomplished action neutrally, without making a sensation out of it.
In exchange for joining the agreement, the Netherlands was required by the EU to adopt a "special position of this country". The European Union guaranteed to The Hague that the association agreement will not give Ukraine the right to apply for automatic membership in the EU in the future, that Kiev will not be able to receive funding from the Union's structural funds and will not become a participant in its defense programs, even though Poroshenko, without noticing these restrictions, voicing their hopes for this.
Experts note that almost from September 1 for ordinary Ukrainians little will change. This also applies to the situation in the Donbass, since the provisions of the treaty, which relate to cooperation in the areas of defense, conflict prevention, do not fully operate. And also in the areas of taxation, finance, migration, border control and the fight against terror.
