EU to cut imports of agricultural products from Ukraine

The European Commissioner Christoph Hansen said that the agreement on ‘trade liberalisation’ between Ukraine and the European Union will expire on June 5, so imports of Ukrainian agricultural products will decrease.

‘Import quotas will not remain the same as they were under this temporary liberalisation. There will be fewer imports,’ Christoph Hansen told AFP news agency.

On 5 June, the trade agreement between Brussels and Kiev will expire, according to which Ukrainian goods entered the European market duty-free due to the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine.

Earlier, Polish Agriculture Minister Czeslaw Seckerski said that he was ‘fundamentally against’ the prolongation of the duty-free trade agreement with Ukraine.
