Ukrainian products should be able to be exported to the EU duty-free until June 2025. The Commission agreed on a corresponding extension of the trade facilitation measures on Wednesday.
The measures were introduced in 2022 to strengthen the Ukrainian economy during the war. The EU extended the measures until June 2024 last year. An “emergency brake” is planned for sugar, eggs and poultry if more are imported than the average for 2022 and 2023. The proposal still needs to be adopted by the EU Parliament and the Member States.
