- Ukraine still has no clear accession timetable, but two further negotiating packages are due to open next week.
That does not mean Ukraine will not become an EU member. We can allow Ukraine to join the EU, but for agriculture we will set special conditions.— Marta Kos, EU Enlargement Commissioner
