Poland "dissapointed" with bilateral deals with Moscow

Poland criticizes bilateral farm agreements with Russia, as France decided to lift its ban on Russian live pigs. Poland claims that France broke the "principle of European solidarity," Reuters reported. A meeting of EU farm ministers in Brussels on Monday debated the issue after Poland insisted to add this matter to the agenda. Marek Sawicki, Poland's Minister of Agriculture said in a letter to his Latvian counterpart that he "is deeply dissapointed" with France's actions. “A spokesman for the French farm minister stressed that talks on the lifting of the embargo were purely technical and were done by veterinary services,” Reuters informed. The EU has been considering imposing more severe sanctions on Russia among recent events in Eastern Ukraine. A meeting of the European Union foreign ministers is to take place on Thursday.
