The goods constitute the bulk of exports (more than 85%), while the services amounting to 15%. The growth of exports to the EU testifies to the fact that the [free trade] agreement is effective," she said. Mykolska added that the exports of value-added products started to increase gradually. As reported, the EU-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement came into effect on January 1 this year.
