Ukrainian Agricultural Imports Steal Limelight

POLAND
  • Poland's Deputy Finance Minister Artur Sobon told Radio Zet that the estimated cost of state subsidies for grain purchase is PLN5bn. The government has decided to roll out the subsidy in reaction to the oversupply caused by the import of cheap grain from Ukraine, which has been piling up in Poland, despite being only approved for transit and shipping to third countries. Sobon called the recent decision to halt Ukrainian grain imports a "radical step," needed to force the European Commission and EU member states to seek a joint solution to the grain situation. Senior ruling party MP Radoslaw Fogiel suggested that the government will present a legislative proposal on grain purchases next Tuesday.
  • Meanwhile, Poland is set to resume negotiations with Ukraine today to re-open the safe transit of agricultural products. Agriculture Minister Robert Telus today said that Warsaw is "not against transit taking place" but wants to have a "100% guarantee" that "the products that have destabilised the local market will not be staying in Poland." He noted that establishing appropriate mechanisms to that end remains the only obstacle to concluding the talks.
