EU states agree: stricter tariffs for Ukrainian food are to be imposed. Products affected include eggs, poultry, sugar and corn.
Tightening the requirements also requires a majority in the European Parliament. Ukraine is an important global producer of wheat; people in poorer countries in particular rely on cheap grain from the Eastern European country. The current customs relief for Ukraine will expire in the summer. If no new regulation is found by then, the trade facilitation would no longer apply. The problem of falling grain prices is not due to Ukrainian deliveries.
