The Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine has said that no new rules on the EU requirement to declare cash while entering or leaving the EU have been adopted since January 1, 2013.

"The EU Delegation to Ukraine would like to clarify the information recently published by some Ukrainian media about the new EU requirement to declare cash while entering or leaving the EU.
