Six EU Member States request European assistance in the business of wheat and cheap corn from Ukraine that entered the European market without observing quality standards and disrupting competition. The document was drafted by Polish diplomats and was also signed by Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It was presented at the meeting of European Union agriculture ministers held on January 30.
Although the mentioned countries support the effort to help Ukraine in the face of the Russian aggressor, they draw attention that European grain producers face unwanted consequences.
Urgent measures are called for because, according to the document, European agriculture has already suffered other disruptions caused by the war, such as the increase in the price of fuel and fertilizers.
