VAN ROMPUY PRÉSIDENT DE L’UE - 19 novembre 2009

The European Union has agreed to introduce new sanctions against Russia on Friday targeting oil and defence firms, but could lift them if a Ukraine ceasefire holds, EU head Herman Van Rompuy said. A further 24 people including Russian oligarchs and Ukrainian separatists have been slapped with travel bans and asset freezes under the sanctions, which have been delayed for the past week by disagreements between EU countries. The sanctions come into force on Friday, Van Rompuy said in a statement Thursday, after sharp differences over whether their introduction might undercut peace efforts and with Moscow promising a forceful response.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has urged the European Union to take tough action against Russia over the separatist conflict in Ukraine's eastern regions at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday. Poroshenko's website said he had spoken to Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, after intensified fighting in the east, in which Kiev has alleged Russian involvement in an air strike on a residential area and the downing of a military transport plane. Poroshenko informed Van Rompuy of new evidence of rebel fighters crossing into Ukraine from Russia along with heavy military equipment and arms, his website said. Source: Reuters

VIDEO: EU Must Be Seen To Protect Ordinary People: Van Rompuy

The chairman of European Union summits said on Thursday that the EU needs to be seen to protect ordinary people and regain citizens’ trust, not just promote the interests of business. Receiving the annual Charlemagne Prize for his contribution to European unity, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy sought to draw lessons from the Eurosceptic protest vote and address concerns about the EU. Van Rompuy said the voters’ message to the EU was “be stronger outside and be more caring inside.” He added that the EU appeared to be more popular in countries beyond its frontiers such as Ukraine than in some member states.

By Adrian Croft BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union and Ukraine signed the core elements of a political association agreement on Friday, committing to the same deal former president Viktor Yanukovich rejected last November, a move which led to his overthrow. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, EU leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso, and the leaders of the bloc's 28 nations signed the core chapters of the Association Agreement on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels. The deal commits Ukraine and the EU to closer political and economic cooperation, although more substantial parts of the agreement concerning free trade will only be signed after Ukraine has held new presidential elections in May. Van Rompuy, the European Council president, said the agreement would bring Ukraine and its 46 million people closer to the heart of Europe and a "European way of life". Source: Reuters
