The Embassy of the Republic of Poland and the EU Delegation to Ukraine have received notes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the inadmissibility of trade restrictions on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products.

This was announced by the Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko.

“Such restrictions, whatever the reasons, do not comply with the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and the principles and norms of the EU Single Market,” he said.

According to Nikolenko, there are all legal grounds for the immediate resumption of exports of Ukrainian agricultural goods to Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria, as well as for the continuation of unimpeded exports to other EU member states and outside the EU.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called on the partners to find a balanced solution based on EU legislation and the Association Agreement.

“This is the only way to successfully counteract Russia’s full-scale aggressive war against Ukraine and to strengthen the EU Single Market, which Ukraine will become a member of,” Nikolenko summarized.
