Poland asks the European Commission to review the import of additional Ukrainian agricultural products in addition to cereals
Warsaw will propose to the European Commission (EC) that, in addition to the cereal import ban, it also examines the risks of importing additional Ukrainian agricultural products, the Polish Prime Minister announced at a press conference in Warsaw on Friday.

Negotiations between the EU countries neighboring Ukraine and the European Commission on raising the import ban on cereals (wheat, corn, rapeseed) ordered at the member state level to the EU level are on track, said Mateusz Morawiecki in response to questions from journalists. He also announced: Warsaw will soon propose that the European Commission investigate whether unfair market behavior occurred in the import of some other agricultural products, including Ukrainian poultry, eggs and dairy products. The Polish government requests, he said, that the EC reliably verify the impact of the import of these products on the Polish market in the last few months and the destabilization risks of their import in the future.
Five EU countries have introduced an import ban
Last week, five EU member states, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, in addition to Poland, asked the Brussels committee to take action in the case of Ukrainian agricultural products entering the European Union duty-free and causing serious damage to local farmers. Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria previously introduced a unilateral import ban on these. A high-ranking Polish diplomat in Brussels told the PAP news agency that the European Commission plans to impose an import ban on about 90 percent of Ukrainian agricultural products arriving in the five countries, and may initiate market protection measures for the other products, and if there is a risk of destabilization, import quotas or can also impose customs tariffs.
