At the same time, representatives of Ukrainian state power and business
community consider the preparation of the Area's format should be more
thorough in order to minimize the risks for Ukrainian economy in
relation to FTA building.
Such opinion has been stated by the participants of "The Future of the
European Union" discussion, held within the Plenary Session of the 5th
annual Yalta European Strategy summit.
Today Ukraine is more involved into global processes than it was ten
years ago. That is why the current world economic crisis may be much
more painful for the country, than the crisis of 1998.
