On 14 April 2014, the Council of the European Union approved two key measures amongst a package of proposals aimed at providing economic and financial support to Ukraine. It adopted a decision providing up to €1bn in macro-financial assistance to Ukraine to support its economic stabilisation and its structural reform agenda, supplementing resources made available under a financial arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It also adopted a regulation granting unilateral trade preferences to Ukraine, providing for the temporary reduction or elimination of customs duties in accordance with a schedule of concessions set out in an annex to the EU-Ukraine association agreement. On the 30 April 2014, the IMF approved a $17.1bn bailout for Ukraine to help the country's beleaguered economy. |
