The so-called e-declaration bill was supported by 278 MPs during the morning plenary session on March 15.
Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Groysman said that that is the last bill that should be adopted by Ukraine's legislature before the EU decides on whether to grant Ukrainian citizens' visa-free travel to EU countries. As reported earlier, Poroshenko on March 12 vetoed the previous wording of the e-declaration bill, which was criticized by the EU. The Ukrainian president tabled an updated bill in parliament along with his proposals, which were agreed with the EU. He noted that the proposals had been developed by the presidential administration and civil society.
