EC introduces temporary import restrictions on four Ukrainian crops in five EU markets

The European Commission has introduced temporary measures to prevent logistical bottlenecks of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds from Ukraine in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. The restrictions will be in place from 2nd May to 5th June 2023. However, during this period, these products from Ukraine can continue to be traded freely in all other EU member states. The products may also transit through these five member states as part of the common transit procedure, or be exported to countries outside the EU. Additionally, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have committed to lifting any unilateral measures concerning the same products or any other products originating from Ukraine.
