On Wednesday, April 12, the first joint intercommittee meeting of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine with deputies of the European Parliament took place.

 This was written on Facebook by the spokesman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk.

 "It's a historic day for the Ukrainian and European parliaments. Today, the first joint intercommittee meeting of Ukrainian parliamentarians with members of the European Parliament was held," he noted.

 According to Stefanchuk, structural cooperation between the committees of both parliaments was started today.

 "Now every committee of the Ukrainian parliament is essentially becoming a European integration committee. Every legislative initiative will be considered through the prism of its compliance with one or another European norms. And this should become the new architecture of Ukrainian parliamentarism," he added.

 The spokesman announced regular meetings, joint events, working contacts between parliamentarians, constant interaction between secretariats.

 The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, published a video from the joint meeting of both parliaments on Twitter.

 "We will continue to walk this path together," she wrote.
