Immediately, it will not be a simple law to pass in parliament, but it will be the discussion we are ready for. Because this discussion determines the responsibility, first of all, by the government in the implementation of a program related to European integration. Parliament will undoubtedly connect. And I thank you that together today we are holding this path, because more than 150 people’s deputies are integrated in various negotiation groups today that are related to European integration, ”the Verkhovna Rada chairman said.
