Enlargement package 2025 – Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia

On 16 March 2026, the Council of the European Union adopted its long‑expected decision endorsing the establishment of a Joint Consultative Committee between the European Committee of the Regions and Ukraine. This step represents an important institutional milestone in strengthening structured dialogue between local and regional authorities on both sides. The formal establishment of the Joint Consultative Committee is expected to be confirmed through its adoption at the next EU–Ukraine Association Council.
