The European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) has approved a report on visa-free travel for Ukraine and provided a mandate for the launch of talks between the EUs institutions.
A corresponding voting took place at a committee meeting in Brussels today, UNIAN reports.
As to the report, thirty-eight EP members voted for the decision, four voted against, and one abstained. None of the amendments aimed at voting the European Commissions Ukraine visa-free proposal down scored the required number of the votes. The committee also voted for the mandate for starting talks between the EUs institutions. The decision was supported by 38 members and five were against.
It is to be reminded, voting on Georgia earlier had proceeded a similar scenario: the ECs proposal for visa-free travel for Georgia was backed by 44 MEPs with five against; the voting was without preliminary debates.
