EU foreign ministers at the EU Council meeting in Brussels on February 6 will assess the reforms progress in Ukraine over the past year and discuss the possibility of strengthening the effectiveness of the support on the part of the EU, according to the materials prepared for the meeting of European foreign ministers.

In the course of the discussions that they had during their informal meeting (in Gymnich format) on September 2-3, 2016, the foreign ministers also will sum up the development of the situation in regard to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and estimate the support of the European Union in Minsk agreements implementation, a statement says released in Brussels on Thursday.

The EU Council communiqué recalls that in the conclusions dated December 15, 2016 the European Council confirmed its commitment to the territorial integrity of Ukraine in accordance with international law, as well as support for the Agreement on the EU-Ukraine Association.

The Council plans to encourage Kyiv to the full implementation of the planned reforms, but especially to achieve progress in the constitutional reform, legal reform, electoral, public administration, energy efficiency and the electricity market.

The European Union, the document says, supports the security sector reform in the country, carried out with the mediation of the EU's advisory mission.
