The European Commission has announced a Call for Expressions of Interest, aimed at stimulating private investments in critically important sectors of the real economy under the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF).
All project proposals presented to the European Commission will be assessed based on the criteria outlined in this Call and will be treated equally, ensuring a fair and transparent assessment process. All information submitted as part of the project proposal will be treated confidentially and used solely for the purposes of evaluating the proposals in accordance with the criteria specified in this Call.
