Jacek Zarzecki of Copa-Cogeca, the EU’s leading agrarian association, said that most of the quotas set for Ukrainian agrifood exports to the European Union under the Autonomous Trade Measures (ATM) for 2024 were used up by Ukraine by April (150% of the quota for oats, 66% eggs, 41% poultry, 70% sugar, 47% maize, 62% groats, and 51% honey).
He suggested to bar imports of sensitive agricultural products from Ukraine in July.
The extension of ATMs for Ukraine was endorsed on May 13 for another 12 months starting June 2024 by the Council of the EU, as reported earlier.
It was stipulated in the agreements that Ukraine could export to the EU poultry, eggs, sugar, oats, groats, maize, and honey within the average of import volumes recorded in the second half of 2021 and over the whole of 2022 and 2023 while the ATMs remain in effect.
Article 4(7) of the Regulation on Autonomous Trade Measures on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products from June 6, 2024 to June 5, 2025 allows Ukraine to export duty-free 57,101 tonnes of poultry, 9,662 tonnes of eggs, 109,439 tonnes of sugar, 18,507 tonnes of honey, 4.648 million tonnes of maize, 1,017 tonnes of oats, and 8,603 tonnes of groats.
