Krajewski participated in a mission led by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and met with Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Markiyan Dmytrasevych.
“A decision was made regarding the licensing of transport and transit,” stated Krajewski.
“If the product is going to Poland, the Ukrainian side should inform Polish services, and they will decide what quantity, amount, and to whom it should go.”
When asked about the possibility of the current government publishing structured lists of companies importing grain from Ukraine, as the previous government did in November 2023, Krajewski responded that the idea would be implemented.
“Of course, everything must be done according to the law,” he said.
“We are working on this and hope that we can present such a list soon.”
Polish Agriculture Ministry has reacted to unverified information in local media about Ukrainian grain entering the Polish market.
“The Ministry has said that the ban on the import of grain from Ukraine will continue,” its statement said.
“It will remain in effect until appropriate mechanisms are developed within the EU that will protect our market.”
The Ministry urged anyone with information about the import of grain from Ukraine to contact law enforcement.
The European Commission plans to offer EU countries an extension of the duty-free trade regime with Ukraine until June 2025, dismissing Poland's proposal to reinstate tariffs on some "sensitive products," Polish Agriculture Minister Czesław Siekierski said in an interview with Business Insider Polska on Jan. 17.
Poland has demanded the right to implement a “safeguard clause” for Ukrainian products, which would protect Polish farmers.
