Polish farmers are protesting against the fact that Ukrainian products enter Europe unhindered, while their price is lower than the local one, Le Parisien has reported.
However, Ukrainian farmers do not obey EU rules and do not comply with European standards.
Poles have blocked roads across the country and border crossings: they block traffic with tractors that drive at very low speed towards cities.
Because of the protests, Poland has now started to discuss a ban not only on grain imports, but also on other products: sugar, poultry. “The oversupply of products from Ukraine, produced without following EU standards and procedures, has become a huge burden for us,” the protesters say.
