The European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade (INTA) has supported the expansion of quotas for duty-free imports from Ukraine, with separate exceptions, according to the EP website, Apostrophe reports.
The EU should offer Ukraine further trade preferences, but certain categories of agricultural products do not need additional EU support, according to the report, Apostrophe wrote.
In particular, the committee refused to provide additional quotas for Ukraine-produced tomatoes, wheat, and urea. MEPs also noted that one of the conditions for providing trade preferences to Ukraine should be a continuous fight against corruption.
