Ukraine has no alternative but to introduce European standards – Yanukovych

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that today Ukraine has no alternative but to introduce European standards and stressed that he is enforcing consistent policy in this direction.

"Today I would like to stress that Ukraine has no alternative but to build the society of European standards. And my policy in this direction has always been consistent," the president said in an appeal to the Ukrainian people that was posted on the president's Web site on Monday.

"The current reform is confirmation of our advancement along the European path," he said.

"We are building a state in which human rights, equality of all before the law, the right of choice and social security are the supreme values for all, in whatever region one lives and to whatever square one goes," he said.

He assured the people that he will continue "strengthening this unshakeable foundation of our life."

"No one will steal our dream about a Ukraine of equal opportunities, about a European Ukraine. No one will manage to push us away from the fair road towards this dream," Yanukovych said.
