European Commission plans to subsidize export of Ukrainian grain, - Bloomberg
The European Commission is considering subsidizing the transport of Ukrainian grain through its member states after several countries banned its import.
As Censor.NET informs, this is reported by Bloomberg, with reference to Polish Public Radio.
It is noted that the issue of supporting the transit cost of Ukrainian grain is discussed at meetings of representatives of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as the executive power of the EU and Ukraine.
According to the report, the estimated cost of subsidies may be around 30 euros per ton of grain.
Earlier this year, five EU member states bordering Ukraine imposed a temporary ban on the sale of Ukrainian grain until mid-September due to growing complaints from local farmers about the impact on their business.
The five countries are keen to ensure that potential subsidies are accompanied by a decision to extend the ban until the end of 2023. Current rules do not apply to goods transiting through their territory.
