A meeting of the Ukraine-Poland intergovernmental commission is scheduled for March 11 in Lviv. And a joint government meeting has been announced for March 28.
I think that by then there will be a whole range of solutions that will completely remove this issue. I would like it to happen within a few weeks, and there are chances,” said Ukraine’s trade representative Taras Utko.
At the same time, according to the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Taras Vysotsky, next week the European Parliament is expected to consider the extension of the FTA agreement with Ukraine, which is coming to an end on June 5, 2024.
The government is actively working to extend the free trade area with the EU, which is coming to an end on June 5 this year. For Ukraine, this is strategically important, since it will give confidence and a planning horizon for domestic producers,” noted the Vysotsky channel “We are Ukraine.”
