Summary:

In this report the Court examines whether European Commission and European External Action Service assistance was effective in supporting the transformation of Ukraine into a well-governed state in the areas of public finance management and the fight against corruption, as well as in the gas sector during the 2007-2015 period.

Overall, EU assistance to Ukraine has been partially effective in these three domains. Until 2014, EU assistance had limited impact. Despite the new impetus for reform since 2014, the results achieved so far remain fragile. This report sets out five recommendations for improving EU assistance.
