European Commission imposes punitive tariffs on imports of Polish fertilizer

The European Commission (EC) has imposed punitive tariffs on Polish ammonium nitrate producers. This tariff was imposed due to the dumping prices of fertilizer exported by Anwil from Wloclawek and nitrogen plant Zaklady Azotowe in Pulawy (ZAP). Both companies explained that they were forced to sell at low prices, as there was a huge import of cheap artificial fertilizer from EU countries. Anwil must now pay euro 23.13 per tonne exported to the EU and ZAP euro 22.61 per tonne. Both companies were mostly producing for export to the EU. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 1, 3) M.M.
