If a country already meets all the requirements, the NATO Membership Action Plan will be redundant.
Ukraine has the opportunity to become a member of NATO without a Membership Action Plan stage, as do Finland and Sweden, as it is not a mandatory part of the access procedure. This was stated by the US Chargé d’Affaires in Ukraine Christina Quinn in an interview with European Pravda.
“Regarding the possibility of Finland joining without MAP, the Membership Action Plan has never been a legal requirement for joining NATO, which means that Ukraine can also join the Alliance without MAP. However, I will not call it a shortened procedure, ”he said.
According to Queen, the MAP is a mechanism that allows a member state to meet the requirements for interoperability, and if any state already meets all the requirements, the Membership Action Plan becomes redundant.
“Therefore, Ukraine or any other state should not accept the Membership Action Plan and implement it if you normally meet most of the requirements,” the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Ukraine said.
