The European Commission is preparing to reintroduce the pre-war tariff quotas on certain Ukrainian agricultural products starting June 6th, when the current tariff waivers, introduced after the Russian invasion to help Ukraine’s economy, are due to expire.
The measures will affect the most problematic products that have been flooding the EU markets to the detriment of local producers, including eggs, wheat, poultry, dairy, beef, pork, and maize.
The EU’s wartime agreement to let Ukrainian produce flow freely into the EU has been a cause for conflict for years. European farmers have voiced valid concerns about being unable to compete with poor quality products from Ukrainian farmers who don’t have to conform to any of the strict EU regulations.
