We have seen enormous pressure being brought to bear upon some of our partners,” EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Štefan Füle addressed to the European Parliament Plenary, APA reports. He said that the Customs Union membership is not compatible with the DCFTAs which we have negotiated with Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Georgia, and Armenia: “This is not because of ideological differences; this is not about a clash of economic blocs. This is due to legal impossibilities: for instance, you cannot at the same time lower your customs tariffs as per the DCFTA and increase them as a result of the Customs Union membership. In order to implement these, our partners must enjoy full sovereignty over their own trade policies, which members of the Customs Union will not.”
Füle also said that each country has "right freely to define and conduct as it wishes its relations with other States in accordance with international law".
