Storyline


Ukraine has filed a case with the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding the unilateral ban on its grain imposed by Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, the country’s economic ministry said on Monday.

Ukraine hoped that its move plus pressure from the European Commission and other members will help restore normal trade between Ukraine and its neighbors.

On the same day, a Polish government spokesman said it was not surprised that Ukraine had resorted to the WTO, and the country would not revoke the ban.

On September 15, the European Union (EU) ban on the free trade of four Ukrainian agricultural products in five European countries expired, but the European Commission decided not to renew it.

Regarding the decision, the EU member states showed clear divisions.

After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many agricultural products could not be exported due to a blockade of the Black Sea ports.

After mediation, large quantities of Ukrainian agricultural products were transported to other regions via Eastern European countries. However, due to the unresolved follow-up issues such as logistics, most of the products can only be sold in these countries, which has impacted local agricultural prices and triggered protests by local farmers.

In May this year, the EU announced that it would temporarily restrict the free trade of four Ukrainian agricultural products in five countries - Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia - while transit of the products were allowed.

The restrictions, which expired on June 5, were extended until September 15. On September 15, the European Commission announced that it would no longer extend the restrictions.

Poland, Hungary and Slovakia announced that they would continue to implement restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural products to protect the interests of their farmers. Bulgaria reversed its previous stance and said it agreed with the Commission's decision. Romania, for its part, expressed regret at the European Commission's decision and would observe the implementation of Ukraine's measures to control its agricultural exports.

On Monday, EU agriculture ministers held a meeting in Brussels to discuss the export of Ukrainian agricultural products. The ministers of Germany, France, Spain, Finland and other countries supported the European Commission's decision of not extending the restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural products.
