Roksolana Pidlasa, head of the parliamentary budget committee, mentioned at the Ukrainian Exports Forum: Through the Thorns to the EU that the Council of the European Union will examine the tariff quotas for certain Ukrainian agricultural exports on October 13. The new quotas, covering 21 of the 34 existing categories, will surpass Ukraine’s maximum export limits under autonomous trade preferences. Gediminas Navickas, the deputy head of the EU delegation to Ukraine, confirmed the EU’s readiness for the review.
The government has also announced plans to raise quotas compared to 2021, including a 583.3% increase for honey, 500% for sugar and processed starch, 300% for eggs, 233.3% for butter, 153% for corn, 133.3% for poultry, 130% for wheat, and 125% for ethanol.
Conversely, MEP Karin Karlsbro pointed out that these high quotas are influenced by the “agricultural lobby” within the EU, highlighting that trade between Ukraine and the EU benefits both parties.
