Poland is demanding that the European Union sanction countries that knowingly import Russian agricultural products. This was stated by the Polish ambassador to the European Union Andrzej Sados, according to the PAP news agency.
“Europe is not at risk of disruptions in the agricultural supply chain,” Saods said. “On the contrary: we have too many surpluses. We are currently trying to resolve the increase in imports of products from Ukraine.’
New restrictions
Earlier this week, the European Commission imposed import restrictions on Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds in order to curb excess stocks in countries including Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, the European Union has implemented more than ten packages of sanctions against Russian individuals and companies. Poland proposed a new package of measures against Moscow in April, including a blanket ban on Russian imports of oil and diamonds.
