This is the best summary I could come up with:

BRUSSELS, Oct 24 (Reuters) - The European Union’s executive is set to present on Nov.8 an assessment of progress made by Ukraine in its membership bid, three officials said, a key stepping stone in the bloc’s decision on whether to start accession talks with Kyiv.

The assessment will come in an annual report by the European Commission in Brussles detailing how far countries looking to join the 27-nation bloc have advanced in meeting the necessary economic, legal and other criteria.

A decision is then expected during a Dec.14-15 summit of EU leaders on whether to launch formal membership negotiations with Ukraine, a top priority for Kyiv as it fights the Russian invasion.

A related Oct.9 as sessment by the Venice Commission - an advisory body to the Council of Europe, a European rights watchdog with 46 member countries including EU states - said the latest amendments to Ukraine’s law on national minorities were an improvement but more needed to be done.

On Georgia, “the jury is still out” on whether it would receive formal candidate status, the official said, something Kyiv won in June last year, shortly after Russia’s invasion began.

Budget decisions also require unanimity in the bloc and some member countries have asked to also raise spending on tackling natural disasters like wildfires and floods, sources said.
