Poland will ask the European Commission to block grain imports from Russia and Belarus

Poland will officially call on the European Commission to completely block the import of agricultural products from Russia and Belarus.

Warsaw will officially appeal to the European Commission with a request to completely block the import of Russian and Belarusian agricultural products to the EU, “Ukrinform” reports.

This was stated by the head of the Polish government Donald Tusk during a joint press conference with his Lithuanian colleague Ingrida Šimonite.

“On Monday, after returning from Vilnius to Warsaw, I will turn to the Marshal of the Sejm with a proposal for a resolution of the Polish Sejm, which will call on the European Commission to impose a full package of sanctions on Russian and Belarusian agricultural products and food products,” Tusk noted.

The Polish Prime Minister is sure that a joint European solution will be more effective than individual embargoes by the countries of the region.

We will remind, despite the embargo on some types of agricultural products from Ukraine, Poland continues to import the same items from Russia and Belarus. Ukrainian journalists learned about it.

Probably, following this and after that, the head of the Polish government, Donald Tusk, said that Poland will study Latvia’s experience in imposing an embargo on the import of agricultural products from the Russian Federation and, perhaps, will soon take similar steps.

Agrarians from Lithuania sided with Ukraine the day before. According to farmers, a much bigger problem for the agricultural market is Russian grain entering the country.
