European Union Co-ordination Project (EUCOP)

Project objective is to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the co-ordination mechanism established by the Government of Ukraine by enhancing its capacity and advising on necessary changes. Attention is to be paid to ensuring the comprehensiveness and coherence of the co-ordination mechanism's functions and of the overall process of co-ordination. The mechanism should combine both policy and procedural co-ordination of EU integration.

Project partners: Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Department for European Integration, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Justice, Presidential Secretariat, Verkhovna Rada (Parliament), other relevant ministries and institutions engaged in Ukraine's EU integration process.

The project is funded by the FCO Global Opportunities Fund Re-Uniting Europe Programme and UK Department for International Development.

The project is implemented by the British Council in consortium with Public Administration (UK) and Corporate & Public Management Consulting Group (Latvia).

The Director of the Bureau for European and Euro-Atlantic integration was appointed

The Ukrainian cabinet has appointed Vadym Tryukhan as director of the Bureau for European and Euro-Atlantic integration and plans to fully staff it by the end of the year, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Hryhoriy Nemyrya told a briefing today.

He said that Tryukhan was appointed at the cabinet meeting on Sept. 24. This body already has 22 employees. There are plans it will employ 70 public service workers from Jan. 1 2009.

"In fact, the cabinet has taken a very important step to pass to the most efficient coordination, that is, horizontal coordination," he said. He added that the bureau would conduct strategic monitoring and analyse the methodology which is used by the EU.

"We are not encroaching upon the powers and functions of the Foreign Ministry, the Justice Ministry and the Economics Ministry," he said. However, he added that the bureau would conduct efficient horizontal coordination, since one post of deputy prime minister for European integration was not enough for this. It was reported earlier that the cabinet had established in its secretariat a coordination bureau for European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Its major functions will be to monitor the implementation of the Ukraine-EU action plan and analyse the efficiency of EU integration policy. Tryukhan worked as deputy director of the EU department in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and deputy head of the service of the Ukrainian deputy prime minister.
