BRUSSELS, April 9 – The European Parliament and the European Council have reached a preliminary agreement on the extension of trade liberalization for Ukraine, providing protective measures for EU farmers, the press service of the European Parliament reports, citing the relevant agreements reached on Monday.
"MEPs and the Council presidency agreed on suspending import duties and quotas on Ukrainian agricultural exports to the EU for another year, until June 5, 2025, to support Ukraine amidst Russia’s continuing brutal war of aggression. These unilateral trade liberalization measures will help stabilize the Ukrainian economy and facilitate the country’s gradual integration into the EU’s internal market," the report says.
