The European Commission decided not to extend the ban on grain supplies from Ukraine to a number of Eastern European countries. The embargo will end on the night of September 16, reported EC press service.
“The European Commission analyzed data related to the impact of exports of four categories of agricultural products on the EU market. Based on the results of the analysis, it became clear that there is no need to extend restrictions on supplies from the territory of Ukraine,” the press release noted.
The EC noted that Ukraine agreed to take any legal measures within 30 days to avoid surges in grain prices, including introducing an export licensing system. Also, from September 16, the republic must organize export controls to prevent possible market distortions in neighboring EU member countries. The Ukrainian authorities need to submit an action plan on these issues to the European Commission by September 18.
EU countries discussed lifting a ban on grain supplies from Ukraine to several neighboring countries this week. Bulgaria, in particular, supported the lifting of the ban, while Hungary and Romania stated that the embargo should be extended. Poland has previously announced its intention to extend the supply ban unilaterally.
