This week, representatives of the member states of the European Union will discuss the steps taken by Poland, Hungary and Slovakia to ban the import of grain and other food products from Ukraine.
This is reported by Reuters.
A senior EU official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said low global prices and demand meant the grain was staying in the bloc rather than being sold on. Oversupply has become a political issue for Poland's ruling Law and Justice party in an election year.
"We expect that Poland and Hungary will offer some explanations, and there will be a reaction from the European Commission," the official said, adding that the issue was raised at the last summit of EU national leaders.
"There is a problem and we expect the Commission to make a proposal on that... We will see what we can do in the coming weeks and months," he added.
We will remind you that Poland banned the import of grain and other agricultural food from Ukraine. After that, Hungary also introduced similar restrictions.
In addition, Slovakia will suspend the import of grain and other products from Ukraine, and Bulgaria is considering a ban.
The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi will hold negotiations with his colleagues from Poland, Romania and Slovakia regarding the export of agricultural products.
