The European Commission may ban the export of Ukrainian grain to Romania

The European Commission may temporarily ban the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to Romania.

The statement about a possible ban on the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to Romania was made by the Minister of Agriculture of Romania, Petre Daea. We are talking about the cessation of imports until June 5, 2023, writes Elevatorist.

According to him, the measures of the European Commission are due to the fact that the states will cancel their unilateral bans. If an agreement is not reached, the commission will ban exports specifically to Romania.

In March 2023, Ukraine received a letter from the governments of Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia regarding the need to introduce certain measures that will partially limit the import of agricultural products from Ukraine. The letter also talked about compensation for losses to the farmers of these countries from the point of view of solidarity.

Subsequently, Hungary, Bulgaria and Slovakia unilaterally took measures to protect local markets, but Romania abandoned the idea.

As previously reported by USM, the European Commission proposes to five countriesto ban the import of Ukrainian agricultural products by the end of the year.
