Dutch government won't rush to assess the outcome of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement and plans to deal with the issue within six months, Dutch media reported.

According to a letter of Dutch Foreign Chief Bert Koenders addressed to the parliament, a response of the government on the result received by the election commission will be submitted to the parliament by September 2016.

The document also says the government's decision demands a thorough approach that's why it will take a definite time to pass it.

As reported, according to preliminary results of the referendum in the Netherlands held on April 6, 61.1% of Dutch voted against the ratification of Ukraine-EU Association, who participated in the referendum, and just 38.1% backed the ratification.
