I move amendment No. 7:

In page 17, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:

Report on conditionalities 22. The Minister shall, within 18 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas outlining any conditionalities or requirements placed on Ukraine as a requirement of access to funds specified under this Act and outlining such steps Ireland has taken in order to ensure such conditionalities do not include enforced austerity, privatisation or broader structural adjustment programmes which would undermine long-term social cohesion, environmental protection and human rights and create greater obstacles for Ukraine in the achievement of social, environmental and human rights standards required for European Union accession.”.
