Ministry of Agriculture commented the TTIP negotiations between the EU and the US

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development argues that the negotiations on the trade agreement (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States should take into account the "sensitivity" of the agricultural sector, veterinary regulations, GMO and food quality standards. In 2014, imports of agri-food products from the US to the EU amounted to €10.4 billion. The European Union has a positive balance of approximately €6 billion on the agri-food trade with the United States.   Earlier, during the meeting in the American Chamber of Commerce, Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki claimed: “Poland is a trade oriented country and a ‘softer’ version of the TTIP is not an option for us.” TTIP is a free trade agreement between the US and the EU that has been negotiated since 2013.
