This is a response to Ukraine’s statement of intention to sue them at the World Trade Organization (WTO), reports the Polish publication PAP.
Let us remind you that on September 18, Ukraine announced that it was suing Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for extending the ban on grain imports.
Kyiv has already submitted a corresponding claim to the arbitration of the World Trade Organization, the Ministry of Economy reported.
At the same time, Kyiv is considering the possibility of introducing a ban on the import of Polish fruits and vegetables.
The European Commission decided not to extend the embargo on Ukrainian grain after September 15. Let us remind you that a few days ago Poland announced that they would not restore grain imports from Ukraine. Hungary’s agriculture minister also said he had agreed to introduce “national bans” on the matter with Romania and Slovakia.
Ukraine has agreed to introduce an export licensing system within 30 days to avoid a surge in grain prices.
By September 18, Ukraine must also propose “effective control measures” over the export of 4 categories of agricultural products in order to prevent “distortions in the market of neighboring countries.”
After the decision of the European Commission, the Polish Prime Minister clearly stated that Poland will continue the embargo on Ukrainian grain. Hungary is also introducing a ban on the import of 24 categories of agricultural products from Ukraine, including grain, vegetables, meat and honey.
