Warsaw banned imports of Ukrainian grain starting from September 15th
Poland’s Cabinet of Ministers has banned imports of grain from Ukraine after September 15th, regardless of the decision of the European Commission – as stated by Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Robert Telus, RIA Novosti reports
It is informed that the adopted resolution has been sent to the European Commission for it to make a decision. “If it does not make a decision (we still have a couple days ahead), then we will definitely put our order into effect. As a result, imports of four types of grain into Poland will be prohibited until the European Union settles Polish-Ukrainian economic relations,” Mr. Telus said.
The Polish official added that the document does not concern the transit of Ukrainian grain through the country’s territory.
A couple of days ago, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki presented an ultimatum to the European Commission on grain imports from Ukraine. He noted that Poland will not allow a new opening of agricultural markets, regardless of the decision of the European Union.
