The EU Limits Duty - Free Exports of Some Ukrainian Agricultural Products to Pacify Local Farmers Protests
The EU has agreed to restrict the duty - free exports of some Ukrainian agricultural products to the EU market, including oats, corn, sugar, honey, eggs and poultry, but excluding wheat and barley. This is to ease the angry protests of European farmers over the influx of cheap Ukrainian agricultural products causing unfair competition. The EU also reserves the right to urgently cancel the tariff exemption, striving to balance supporting Ukraine and safeguarding the interests of local farmers.
