The Economic Development and Trade Ministry will analyze deepening of trade with the European Union (EU) and initiates changes to the conditions of free trade, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Ukraine's Trade Representative Natalia Mykolska has said.
According to a report on the ministry's website, the ministry plans to determine the optimal format of cooperation in the free trade zone or the customs union with the EU in the short-term and long-term outlook.
