Zdenek Nekula stated that he believes that the import bans introduced by Poland, Hungary and Slovakia are contrary to the operation of the single European Union market and the basic regulations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Polish, Hungarian and Slovak authorities justified their measures by protecting the market and consumers of their countries. “At the end of the week, I discussed the issue of the import of Ukrainian agricultural products with Janusz Wojciechowsky, the Commissioner for Agriculture of the European Commission. He clearly confirmed that these unilateral bans are unacceptable, so the ministers will deal with the issue on April 25,” said Zdenek Nekula.
Ukrainian grain does not cause much trouble in the Czech Republic
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, who is on an Asian tour, answered a journalist’s question and said: For the Czech Republic, this topic is “not as intense” as for the countries bordering Ukraine. “The countries neighboring Ukraine acted because Ukrainian products significantly reduce their prices and represent competition for their agriculture,” the prime minister told reporters. According to him, the situation is different in the Czech Republic. “We are taking steps that can reduce prices, and we are doing our residents a service by doing so,” added Petr Fiala. At the same time, the Czech Republic has tightened the control of food entering and passing through the country in order to filter out problems. “We haven’t found any dangerous patterns so far,” Zdenek Nekula pointed out.
