Slovakia temporarily suspends the import of grain and other individual products from Ukraine. This issue will also be discussed during the meeting today, April 17.
This was stated by the government spokesman on condition of anonymity, writes Reuters.
As The Guardian notes, the ambassadors of the EU member states in Brussels will also raise the issue of the suspension of the import of Ukrainian grain from Poland and Hungary.
According to the official, low world prices and demand mean that the grain will remain in the block, but will not be sold.
"We expect explanations from Poland and Hungary, as well as a reaction from the European Commission. There is a problem, and we expect the Commission to come up with a proposal on this matter. We will see what we can do in the coming weeks and months," the spokesman added.
We will remind that the Bulgarian authorities may also introduce a ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, following Poland and Hungary.
As Reuters wrote, already this week representatives of the member states of the European Union will raise the issue of banning the import of grain and other food products from Ukraine.
