The EU has extended restrictions on grain imports from Ukraine
The European Union has extended the restriction on the import of cereals from Ukraine – wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds – until mid-September, the European Commission announced on Monday evening.
The committee agreed to the request of the five EU member states, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, according to which the board should immediately introduce measures to deal with the unsustainable situation caused by increased grain imports from Ukraine. At the end of April, the commission concluded an agreement with the affected member states, which allows them to block the distribution of Ukrainian cereals on their country’s territory until June 5, provided that they do not prevent transit traffic to other countries. On Monday, the board extended this agreement until September 15.
“These measures are still necessary for a limited time, given the exceptional circumstances experienced in the five Member States, the severe logistical bottlenecks before the harvest season and the limited grain storage capacity”
– the committee explained its decision.
