Since the beginning of my term of office in the European Parliament, the main field of my activity was supporting European direction of development in Ukraine. In the European Parliament Committee of International Trade, we have concentrated on supporting negotiations and preparing the evaluation of DCFTA between the European Union and Ukraine.
