Customs Union is `backward province' - Ukrainian analyst
September 14, 2013 | 14:06
The Customs Union is a `backward province,' and that is why the
selection between the European Union (EU) and the Customs Union is
more than apparent for Ukraine, stated Ukrainian analyst and political
advisor Alexander Paliy.
The analyst is confident that the Customs Union will bring no benefits
to Ukraine, Gazeta.ua reports.
`The Customs Union is a union of backward, feudal economies, where the
rights of the man, the citizen are not protected. It gives no
innovation to the world,' Paliy noted.
As per the analyst, the EU, on the other hand, is a union of leading
economic relations.
`The European Union is a major center which comprises 23 percent of
the global GDP, in the case when the indicator of the Customs Union is
barely 3 percent,' Paliy explained.
He also stressed that the EU and the Customs Union cannot be compared
with one another.
`One of the centers provides cultural, political and economic
standards to the world, ever since the 19th century. [But] the other
center is just a backward province,' Alexander Paliy concluded.
To note, following the talks that were held on September 3 in Moscow
between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir
Putin, Sargsyan had announced that Armenia plans to join the Customs
Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
