All because of the decision of the European Commission

Polish and Hungarian farmers are unhappy with the European Commission’s proposal to extend the suspension of import quotas and duties for Ukrainian exports to the EU for another year.

“Our patience has run out. The position of Brussels, expressed on the last day of January 2024, is unacceptable for our entire agricultural community.

The union said “farmers support the Hungarian government, which defends their interests against Brussels.”

Important criteria for Ukraine

The current extension of the tariff-free and quota-free trade regime for Ukraine expires on June 5, 2024, for Moldova – on July 24, 2024.

The European Commission has officially proposed the extension of the suspension of import quotas and duties for Ukrainian exports to the EU for another year.

We agreed with the Romanians
