EU Backs Another Year Of Access For Ukrainian Food


European Union lawmakers approved on March 7 granting Ukrainian food producers tariff-free access to EU markets for another year, rejecting amendments that could have increased restrictions. The European Commission has proposed that the suspension of duties and quotas should continue until June 2025, which the European Parliament's Trade Committee approved by 26 for to 10 against, with one abstention. In response to EU farmer protests, the proposal also introduces an "emergency brake" for poultry, eggs, and sugar, meaning tariffs would be allowed if imports exceed the average levels of 2022 and 2023.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
