Poland extended the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, - Morawiecki
Poland extended the ban on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products after September 15.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced this on Twitter, Censor.NET informs.
"The government protects Polish farmers! We will not open borders for Ukrainian grain! The embargo remains!" the message says.
It should be noted that in May the European Union allowed Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia to ban the domestic sale of Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed, and sunflower seeds while allowing the transit of such goods for export to other countries. This ban expires on September 15. If the ban is not continued, most likely each of these countries will introduce a separate embargo on agricultural products. Hungary has already announced such an intention.
Later, EU Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski supported the extension of the temporary ban on the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia until the end of 2023 and offered to provide subsidies for Ukrainian grain exporters.
