Romania may ban the import of agricultural products from Ukraine for a month

The Prime Minister of Romania Marcel Cholaku will appeal to the government of the country with a request to extend the ban on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products for 30 days.

Marcel Cholaku said that he is expecting a proposal from the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmygal regarding the licensing of grain exports, which will be discussed, «Interfax-Ukraine» writes.

He added that after the decision of the European Commission not to extend the ban on Ukrainian agricultural products, “not a single kilogram of wheat was imported to Romania from Ukraine.”

“If there are requests for exports to Romania, I will definitely ask the Minister of Agrarian Policy and the Minister of Economy to issue a joint order that the restriction will be extended for a period of 30 days, until everything is clarified. I repeat: there are no requests, and I want to assure farmers that there will be no such thing as it was a year ago,” the official emphasized.

We will remind, on September 15, the European Commission announced that it will not extend the restrictions on the import of agricultural products from Ukraine with some conditions that will make it possible to avoid a new grain jump.
