EU double standards

An issue of visas is very important in Ukrainian-EU relationships. As another evidence of double standards, Kyiv Posts reports:

The Parliament: EU castigated over Ukraine visa issue 

"...At present, Europeans wishing to visit Ukraine do not need a visa and Kiev eventually wants reciprocal visa-free facilities for its citizens travelling to the EU.

Speaking at a breakfast briefing in Brussels on Thursday, Kostiantyn Yelisyeiev stressed, "We are not asking for the immediate introduction of a visa-free regime because we realise we have to take certain measures.

"But what we are saying is that the EU should be doing much more to help facilitate this."

He singled out four member states – Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands – for particular criticism, saying they were obstructing the start of "serious" negotiations on the issue."
