Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia continue to block the import of Ukrainian agro-products, despite the position of the EU Commission. In Brussels, it is believed that the reasons for the bans are more political, since the updated trade agreement already provides mechanisms for protecting European farmers.
The EU Commission emphasizes that the updated trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU already includes mechanisms for protecting European farmers. Therefore, the blocking of agro-product imports from Ukraine is not justified by economic reasons.
Experts believe that political motives may be the main reason for the blocking of Ukrainian agro-product imports. This could have negative consequences for Ukraine's economy and relations between Ukraine and the EU.
