Distributors still can't get hands on cheap Ukrainian steel

"The European Commission has already signed an agreement with Ukraine, but the issue of steel imports has yet to be solved, although this should not be a problem. According to our information, there is no problem with importing steel to Poland and it should be finally resolved over the next few days," said the Economy Ministry's Mieczysław Nogaj. However, one disgruntled distributor commented, "Carriages are standing on the border and we are bearing the costs." He also added that the issue is not likely to be resolved soon and this might lead to companies encountering financial difficulties, as Ukrainian steel is much cheaper than that produced in this country.
