"What is visa-free for our country? In order to receive a visa-free, you had to take a whole bunch, a huge number of European laws, anti-corruption in the first place. This is the first. The second. Do you understand the danger of visa-free travel? This is - once, you threw a spoon, you swallowed it. And now you're on (hook). - Red. ), God forbid that not so, derg - they closed the visa and the people will take you out. We must now live in a European way, "he said..

The President of the FBU also welcomed the vote of the Upper House of the Parliament of the Netherlands for the implementation of the ratification of the Association Agreement Ukraine-EU.

"Yes, we were told that you can not join the European Union, you can not go there to work. But for lack of visas somehow there sideways, who needs - for three months, there will work and return, and who wants to leave - he left without visas without association. No problems. But the association is a way to improve, it's competition with European producers, it's an opportunity to improve and become different, these are the new rules, not the Soviet or Asian ones we were in, but the new ones. New politics, new politicians, all new. I think that a lot has been done, "he said..
