This paper discusses further steps in the EU-Ukraine relationship. The author argues that negotiation of a regional trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine is the next significant step towards Ukraine's deeper integration with the West. Drawing on analyses of official and independent analytical materials and statistical data, the paper explores the form such an arrangement should take and assesses which of the existing models would be an appropriate model for EU-Ukraine trade relations: a free trade agreement, a customs union or something along the lines of the European Economic Area Agreement.
