Brussels: The European Union said on Monday that it had agreed to a new long -term trade agreement with Ukraine, covering the import of food products from a war -torn country that angered the European Union farmers.“With this modern agreement, we are gaining trade flow from Ukraine to Europe and global markets,” said European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen.“At the same time, we continue to protect the interests of our farmers.”Following the protests by the farmers, Brussels and Kiev are running on the deal, which was seen to slap the European Union on Tariff-free Ukrainian agricultural imports in the block.In view of Russia’s February 2022 invasion, the European Union gave a tariff-free access to most Ukrainian agricultural imports to help in the country’s economy.But the European Union farmers said that Ukrainian incorrectly reduced themselves.In response, Brussels added some restrictions in 2024, when it extended the agreement for an additional year, by starting some tariff-free products such as grains, poultry, eggs, sugar and corn.The European Commission said that under the new deal – which still needs to be finalized – Kota will remain for those sensitive agricultural areas.The European Union Agriculture Commissioner Christoff Hansen said, “New Terms compared to the previous 2016 agreement” compared to the previous 2016 agreement, but improve moderate imports. ,In turn, Kiev will cut its quota for pork, poultry and sugar from the European Union and push to align its food production standards with 27-nation blocks by 2028, said Brussels.Agricultural powerhouse Ukraine is desperate to maintain preference access to its products for the European Union as it attempts to flow income after three and a half years of war.
