Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Justice Minister Olha Stefanishyna has said that Ukraine will introduce an anti-corruption component in each chapter of the negotiations on accession to the European Union.

"Currently, we have a rather structured approach: we have an agreement with the European Commission that Ukraine will introduce an anti-corruption component each chapter of our negotiations. Whether it is energy, transportation or agricultural policy. We have an anti-corruption strategy approved by the government, and together with our American and European partners we are developing sectoral areas, and in each negotiating group there will be a representative of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention," the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration said in a statement following Stefanishina's participation in the European Policy Center event.

She also noted that Ukraine has demonstrated one of the best results in the world in the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index ranking, compiled by Transparency International.

The Deputy Prime Minister also spoke about Ukraine's further efforts to counter corruption, the complexities of the negotiation process on Ukraine's accession to the EU under martial law, and the involvement of business and civil society in the negotiations.

"Ukraine has already established reliable institutions in the field of combating and preventing corruption that are fully functioning. The leaders and representatives of these institutions were elected in a democratic, open and transparent way. We on the part of the government are doing our best to provide them with funding and everything they need to work. The Parliament is constantly working on improving some legal peculiarities so that they operate smoothly," Stefanishyna said.
