KYIV, March 20 – Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova have come up with a joint initiative to start the format of enhanced dialogues "EU + 3 Associated Partners" within the Eastern Partnership to promote free trade and sectoral integration, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

"We believe that, within the Eastern Partnership, deeper integration will be offered to the associated partner states based on the 'more for more' approach. That is, the more progress countries make in implementing reforms, the more support they receive from the EU. Integration into the EU internal market, energy security, the EU Green Deal, digitalization, healthcare, these are the areas that are of interest to Ukraine for deepening cooperation," Shmyhal said during a meeting with Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier, which took place during a working visit Prime Minister of Ukraine in Germany.
