Hungary threatens to introduce total ban on Ukraine agro imports
Hungary plans to implement a full national ban on Ukrainian grain imports in cooperation with Romania and Slovakia if the EU doesn’t extend the existing ban set to expire on Sep. 15, according to Hungary’s Minister of Agriculture, István Nagy, on Sep. 13.
"We have agreed with my Romanian, Slovak and Bulgarian colleagues that if there is no decision on the extension of the existing moratorium by Brussels, then we will take national measures individually," Nagy said.
Despite Nagy’s claims, Bulgaria recently announced its intention to lift its embargo on Ukrainian agricultural importers once the current term expires.
Poland has independently opted to extend its ban on Ukrainian grain imports beyond Sept. 15.
Ukraine has announced its intention to pursue arbitration through the World Trade Organization to seek compensation for damages resulting from the Polish embargo on its wheat exports.
