EU Set To Ink Ukraine Market Economy Status Deal Tomorrow.

A spokesman for the British government in Brussels announced yesterday that the EU is ready to sign an agreement giving Ukraine market economy status at the EU – Ukraine summit in Kyiv, tomorrow.  Concorde Capital:  Gaining market economy status was the first goal on the government’s five step plan of Euro-integration. The move signals the EU’s greater confidence in Ukraine and more importantly should lift some anti-dumping restrictions on Ukraine. State Secretary Oleh Rybachuk earlier said that the EU’s anti-dumping duties cost Ukraine around USD 250 mln per year.
