The beginning at 19:00 Kyiv time
Tonight there will be a broadcast of Mind Talks: “Ukraine's candidacy to join the EU: how long the accession path will be and what changes (legislative and not only) Ukraine will need to implement”
Mind.ua's Editor-in-Chief Eugene Shpytko together with analyst Oleksandr Spasichenko will discuss with Oleksii Moldovan, head of the Center for Economic Initiatives “Eurostrategy”, and Audrius Miciukevičius, investment banker and ex-employee of the Ministry of Finance of Lithuania, what awaits Ukraine on its way to joining the European Union.
The program will be broadcast on July 11, at 19 p.m. Kyiv time.
The Lithuanian expert will talk about the experience of Lithuania's accession to the EU. He will compare the Lithuanian path with the Ukrainian one and will tell how his country adapted legislation and tax rates.
Analysts will discuss the complexity of the EU structure and degree of integration, key European principles and competition between EU countries.
During the broadcast, we will find out whether the relatively low GDP per capita of Ukraine is a problem in the process of joining the European Union.
In addition we will find answers to the following questions:
- Will it be necessary to change the tax legislation?
- How to adapt customs tariffs?
- Is it necessary to make changes to the constitution and in what way?
- Will Ukraine follow the path of Turkey?
- What will we get when we finally become part of the European Union?
