The proposed solution, which will allow restricting the import of agricultural products from Ukraine, can effectively support farmers in the European Union. This was reported by Janusz Wojciechowski.
Over the past few months, farmers in the European Union have expressed dissatisfaction with competition from cheap grain from Ukraine and with the strict ecological norms of the EU.
Wojciechowski proposed to introduce a "safeguard clause" that would allow reacting to an increase in the import of certain Ukrainian products into the EU. If the import becomes too high, EU members will be able to turn to the European Commission, which will be obliged to take necessary measures within two months to resolve difficulties in the grain market.
Wojciechowski also expressed a positive attitude towards the possibility of canceling EU environmental standards that farmers must comply with to receive subsidies. He believes that incentivizing farmers is more important than forcing them to meet requirements, and that this will more effectively protect the environment and climate.
Protests by farmers continue in many EU countries due to falling incomes as a result of the import of Ukrainian goods and restrictions caused by environmental requirements. In February, Wojciechowski stated that the losses of the EU agricultural sector from trade liberalization with Ukraine amounted to €19 billion over the past two years.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that Ukraine has fulfilled the conditions for negotiations on joining the EU, while former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov expressed doubts about the EU's readiness to accept the country. At the same time, the EU decided to prepare for possible integration with Ukraine without discussing this publicly.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed an application for the country's accession to the EU, and in June 2022, candidate status was approved for Ukraine. In December 2023, EU leaders agreed to start negotiations with Ukraine on joining the European Union.
