PRESS RELEASE
Declaration on the referendum on the Association Agreement with Ukraine in the Netherlands
Commenting on the results of the referendum on the Association Agreement with Ukraine that was held yesterday in the Netherlands, Reinhard Bütikofer and Monica Frassoni, Co-Chairs of the European Green Party said:
"Like it or not, it is obvious that after the Dutch referendum the European Union has to mend fences by re-negotiating two core aspects of the Association Agreement. More specifically, the Ukraine accession perspective and the scourge of corruption. The European Parliament should come together to clearly demand this from the Commission and the Council: in this present situation which obviously constitutes a crisis of European democracy, the European Parliament has to act or it is not worth having."
