The EBA was established in 1999 as a TACIS project of the Delegation of the European Commission (EC) in Ukraine. Since that time the EBA maintains its close working relations with the EC Delegation in Kyiv. This cooperation allows the EBA not only to be updated on latest development of relations between European Union and Ukraine but also be a voice in respective decision making processes.
The EBA keeps contact with the European Commission in Brussels. The EBA Executive Director participates in the Annual Meetings if the European Business Organisations (EBO) in Brussels, Belgium.
Being the Association of the European businesses the EBA cooperates with Trade and Economic departments of the European Union Embassies in Kyiv.
