06/02 14:00 EBA ad-hoc meeting with Adina-Ioana Valean, Member of the European Parliament

The EBA would like to thank Mrs Adina-Ioana Valean MEP for meeting with its members on Saturday 6 February 2010. Mrs Valean was in Ukraine as part of the European Unions election monitoring delegation and took time from her busy schedule to meet and discuss the elections and the business climate in Ukraine.

Mrs Valean has been an MEP since 2007 and, as well as sitting on the EU/Ukraine Parliamentary Committee, she also sits on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy.

The meeting was incredibly productive and provided a forum for the EBA members to discuss their thoughts and opinions directly with an elected representative of the European Parliament. Mrs Valean’s knowledge and interest in both industry and in this region and the input from our members and business leaders made for an interesting and constructive dialogue and the EBA looks forward to creating ever-closer relationships with the EU institutions in the future.

The EBA extends its gratitude to Mrs Valean and to those members who participated in the meeting. The event was hosted at and supported by the staff of Opera Hotel, Kiev who helped to make the event such a success.
