Three years after the introduction of the euro notes and coins, citizens in the euro zone have become familiar with the European currency, no longer thinking in the old national monies for common purchases, knowing the approximate value of the euro against the dollar, expecting the new EU members to also adopt it and believing that this will be beneficial for consumers overall. At the same time, citizens don’t appear to know that they can withdraw cash and make purchases with their bank cards in other euro zone countries without incurring any supplementary fees, a survey carried out by the Commission shows. It also reveals that more than half of the public in the euro zone has at least heard about the Stability and Growth Pact and see it as a guarantee for a strong and stable euro. |

With the inauguration of Viktor Yuschenko, Ukraine has entered a new era. The challenge ahead is to use this new chapter in Ukrainian history to build a stronger EU-Ukraine relationship. For both sides, now is a good time to reflect on how we can work together more effectively to achieve our common goals. The EU's position is clear: we believe that there are new and important opportunities to reinforce our ties even further. But we are also convinced that success will require hard work and commitment on both sides. In sum, the future quality of our relations will largely depend on the quality of Ukraine's democracy and domestic reforms. |

The events leading to tomorrow’s Presidential inauguration will enter history as a milestone, not only for Ukraine, but also for its relations with the European Union. Recent events have shown the extent of your commitment to the democratic values on which Europe is based. Even before these events the EU was intending to upgrade its relations with Ukraine, but now it is clear that our relations have taken on a new resonance and that we may be able to move more quickly than we previously thought possible. |

Член Європейської Комісії з питань зовнішніх зносин і Європейської політики сусідства пані Беніта Ферреро-Вальднер візьме участь у церемонії інавгурації Президента України Віктора Ющенка, що відбудеться у неділю у м. Києві. Новообраний Президент України вступає на пост після переголосування другого туру виборів, які на думку міжнародних спостерігачів “значно наблизили” Україну до міжнародних стандартів вільних і чесних виборів. Європейська Комісія сподівається на співпрацю з новим Президентом України у напрямку поглиблення відносин між ЄС і Україною як у політичній, так і в економічній площині у рамках Європейської політики сусідства. Новий План дій, умови якого було обговорено з Україною, було схвалено як Європейською Комісією, так і Європейською Радою у грудні минулого року. Сьогодні, після того, як в країні відбулися демократичні вибори, впровадження Плану може розпочатися одразу ж як буде зроблено останні процедурні кроки. |
