Particular attention Olexander Yefremov paid to reforms, which are being carried out by authorities. "Over the past year and a half great changes took place in Ukraine. Unfortunately, in Europe, few people know what is actually happening in the country. The country's leaders held a number of reforms - this is pension and judicial reforms, adoption of anti-corruption legislation and the new Tax Code," the politician said.
"Now we are preparing such global documents as a bill on the land market, new Criminal Procedure, Housing and Communal and Labour Codes. In Ukraine these laws have a long history, they are not modernized. And, unfortunately, over the 20 years of existence of Ukraine as an independent state, no one worked on them. It is our task. Therefore we have a lot of work to do. And as you can see, we are working very hard," said Olexander Yefremov.
MEPs stressed the importance of the visit of Ukrainian parliamentarians because now it is a key moment in relations
