KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's parliament on Thursday rejected six proposed draft laws that would allow jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko to go to Germany for medical treatment and clear the way for the signing of a landmark trade agreement with the European Union.

All six proposed drafts fell well short of getting the required 226 votes to pass through parliament which is dominated by allies of President Viktor Yanukovich.
