The publication notes that this move should reassure European farmers who protested earlier this year.
The European Union intends to introduce duties on the import of Ukrainian sugar and eggs. The move should reassure farmers who protested in several countries in the bloc in early 2024, the Financial Times reported.
Tariffs of 89 euros per ton will be introduced starting June 28, similar to the tariff introduced on Ukrainian oats last week, and will remain in effect until June 2025, the media added.
The Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, Olga Stefanishyna, in a comment to European Pravda, said that the Ukrainian government has verified the media information that the EU allegedly has plans to use the protection mechanism duties on new Ukrainian goods in the coming days. The officer emphasized that this information has not been confirmed.
Stefanyshina insisted that the EU has no such plans.
“At the moment, the EU is not planning any new decisions on the return of duties on Ukrainian goods,” he said.
According to him, the information disseminated by the Financial Times that on June 28, the EU intends to continue import duties on Ukrainian sugar and eggs is false.

It should be noted that in June 2022, the European Union temporarily suspended some tariffs provided for in the Association Agreement with Ukraine.
In April 2024, the European Parliament approved the extension of duty-free trade in Ukrainian agricultural products for one year. At the same time, he introduced new restrictions on the import level.
This will be the last viewing. The EU and Ukraine aim to conclude a long-term agreement from June 2025.
