EU and Ukraine to boost energy cooperation

The EU and Ukraine are to work more closely on energy issues to ensure greater security of supply, Benita Ferrero-Waldner has announced.

The EU’s external relations commissioner met Ukraine’s new Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovitch on his first visit to Brussels on September 14 to discuss further steps in EU-Ukraine relations.

“I have just signed a memorandum of understanding which leads the way to a European financing scheme for oil and gas metres for use on the pipelines across Ukraine’s borders,” she said after their first meeting.
