“It is of course very important that we now work together to export excess grain from Poland. (…) Action is needed in the EC for the EU to implement it. (…) It is not Poland that is introducing it, but the EU,” Robert Telus, Agriculture Minister, said from the Sejm podium.
Maybe you don’t know about farming and you have the right, but these matters are very important to us farmers and your shouting won’t help anything
Minister Telus addressed one of the opposition MPs.
I address my opposition colleagues who are part of the ruling group in the EU. Help Janusz Wojciechowski, help the Poles, the Polish government, (…) so that together we can introduce the possibility for countries to (…) introduce tools that ensure that products from Ukraine do not just flow to our countries. I hope you not only shout from the stage, but also help the Polish farmer
he stressed.
It’s hot in parliament
The topic of grain from Ukraine sparked a lively discussion in the Sejm.
In connection with the huge scandal that is shaking Poland, the grain and poultry scandal, where, as everything indicates, the government put pressure on the services responsible for customs controls to withdraw from these controls. Also consisting in the fact that without any control of production standards, under the coined term “technical grain”, unknown how many millions of tons of grain of unknown quality have entered
he said Christopher Bosak of the Confederacy.
The Confederation is introducing a motion to change the way the procedure is conducted so that a Special Commission of Inquiry is appointed at this meeting, which will explain who made the decision to suspend the inspection and whether it is true, as reported by “Rzeczpospolita”, that grain still enters Poland, currently as an industrial cleaning cloth
– added.
On the other hand Magdalena Srokathe president of the agreement, accused the government of causing Poles to eat “bread made from flour with groundworms” due to its actions
It is very good that Minister Telus has noted that there is a tragedy going on in the Polish countryside and a tragedy with grain. For months you assured us that everything was under control, that no grain came in from Ukraine. Meanwhile, technical grain has arrived. It was you who gave the Poles today, all of us, that we ate flour bread with groundworms in our Polish bread, which came to technical grain
– she said.
Telus: Anyone who wanted to cheat Poland “for grain” should be punished
Anyone who wanted to cheat Poland “for grain” must be punished. I want to talk to Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro about far-reaching sanctions against these people, said Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Robert Telus.
Before the session of the Sejm, Minister Telus said in an interview with journalists that he would go to Szczecin on Thursday to talk to the protesting farmers.
The farmers’ protests are very important, but for me the issues are very important and I have to solve them
– he said, adding that he understood the protesters.
He also stated that he was in favor of making all company data public so that Poles could find out who bought Ukrainian grain.
Last night I decided that the veterinary inspection will check all companies in Poland that import grain. We will check whether these cereals meet Polish and European standards, because the health of the Poles is the most important thing for us
– he said, adding that he also wanted to know who deserved it – he stressed.
Telus was also asked what the consequences should be for people who made a fortune from grain from Ukraine.
I will want to talk to Minister Zbigniew Ziobro about far-reaching sanctions against those who wanted to cheat Poland for grain
he announced.
It doesn’t matter to me if someone is linked to this or this site – anyone who wanted to cheat will be punished for it
– added.
