Following the outcome of the third sitting of the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee in Brussels, MEPs expressed Ukrainian colleagues a consistent support, Verkhovna Rada First Deputy Premier Iryna Gerashchenko said.

She said soon a profile committee on freedom and justice is to determine a co-rapporteur, who will speak at the debates at European Parliament.

"Our colleagues assured us that they hope for quick and effective consideration of the visa-free travel issue in the EP. The procedure could last for three months, but in their opinion, the debates will be held earlier," she wrote on Facebook account on Tuesday.

In relation to this, Gerashchenko denied earlier reports in some media "on the debates in September is untrue, there wasn't such decision, especially there is no rapporteur yet."

Besides, she said that EP welcomed that Ukrainian pro-European political forces managed to overcome political crisis through resumption and formation of the government.

"EP hopes for speed reforms, namely, in combating corruption, decentralization, justice and reforms of the court system," she wrote.

The first deputy PM said the sides agreed Russia sanctions should remain by full implementation of Minsk Agreements.

A special attention should be drawn to violation of human rights in Crimea and ban of Mejlis.

The committee urged its European colleagues to back 'Savchenko list'.
