Although the new agreement with Ukraine is most hopefully to get the name of an "association agreement," it won't envisage any  pure prospect of Ukraine's membership of the European Union, Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in Brussels on Tuesday following a meeting of the Council of the EU.

"It was significantly important to  reach the common decision concerning the package... on the association agreement and concerning our deeper commitments on the enhanced agreement, but it (the agreement) won't envisage any future growth and development of the relations of EU with Ukraine," she reported.
"We think that Ukraine has to do a lot of to stabilize its domestic politics," she added.

She mentioned about the serious conflicts between President Viktor Yuschenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

"We would like to see this change," she noted.

Ferrero-Waldner said the matter would be also at the discussion at the Ukraine-EU summit in France on September 9, 2008.

A well-informed source reported that members of the EU had arrived at a common position on recognizing Ukraine as a European country in the preliminary statement of the agreement.
