“Goods from Ukraine do not enter Poland”
Goods banned from Ukraine since Saturday will not enter Poland, Agriculture Minister Robert Telus assured at Monday’s conference.
We know that a lot of fake news has appeared on the internet in the last few hours, a lot of lying videos. I want to say with full conviction, after talking to the services, that I did not cross the border with any of the products listed in the regulation
said the minister.
The services have informed me that on Saturday, from the time this regulation was printed, which is around 8 p.m., which is roughly how the regulation was printed, such products will not enter Poland
he stressed.
The minister assured that the information that after the introduction of an import ban on certain agricultural goods from Ukraine, the European Union is threatening Poland with the withdrawal of subsidies for farmers, is also incorrect.
On April 15, 2023, the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Technology on the import ban of agricultural products from Ukraine entered into force. The regulation introduces an import ban until June 30 this year. certain products originating from or imported from the territory of Ukraine to the territory of Poland – eg cereals, sugar, fruits and vegetables.
“Talks are ongoing with the Ukrainian side”
Call to the EU
As the Polish side, we must have a 100% guarantee that the products in transit will not stay in Poland, said the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. He said that the cost of aid to Ukraine should be shared among all European countries.
We call on the European Union, on the European Commission, to take such measures as soon as possible. To make sure that these transports, those transits that are aimed at countries other than those on the frontline, that they are safe, that they are guaranteed
– said Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Robert Telus on Monday at a press briefing at the border crossing in Dorohusk.
The minister also referred to the ongoing negotiations with Ukraine.
As a Polish party, we must have a 100% guarantee that the products that are on their way do not stay in Poland. This is the most important thing for us and we will fight for it
– said the head of the ministry.
He noted that talks with Ukraine are “ongoing all the time, work is ongoing”. He stressed that “the cost of this aid to Ukraine should be shared among all European countries, not just the frontline countries.”
