The government decided to issue a regulation prohibiting the import of agricultural products from Ukraine. This was announced by PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS convention in Łysy.
We are and remain unchanged friends and allies of Ukraine. We will support her and we support her. (…) But the duty of every state, of every good authority, is also to protect the interests of its citizens. In this case, in principle, it concerns all citizens, because the crisis in the Polish countryside should spread to a number of other crises. Therefore, knowing that it is in the interests of Poland, but also in the interests of Ukraine, because it is not in the interests of our friends that Poland plunges into crisis and that people come to power here who will change policies from radical support for Ukraine
– said Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
“We won’t let that happen.”
This decision, while firm and harsh, is also a decision in the interest of Ukraine. Today, the government passed a regulation that bans the import of grain to Poland, as well as dozens of other types of food
– added.
With the asymmetry that exists between Polish and Ukrainian agriculture, due to the quality of the soil, the much lower price of labor in Ukraine and the fact that activities are mainly carried out on large areas, such a situation would allow all this to Poland without restrictions, and this is the current situation of the EU’s provisions, would lead to a general, far-reaching crisis of Polish agriculture. We won’t let that happen
– he said.
We have informed our Ukrainian friends about the decisions and we are ready to start discussions at any time, perhaps in the next few days, to settle this issue in the form of an interstate agreement. (…) These are fundamental matters
he noticed.
