to the Commission
Rule 144
Jonas Sjöstedt (The Left)
Ukraine has recently signed a bilateral agreement with the United States aimed at facilitating US access to strategic natural resources in Ukraine. The agreement includes a clause explicitly stating that it should not hinder Ukraine’s EU accession process. However, there is a lack of clear information on how environmental safeguards will be ensured and how the agreement aligns with EU environmental legislation, particularly the Water Framework Directive[1], the Extractive Waste Directive[2] and the proposed soil monitoring law[3].
