Russian-Polish trade issue solved in Brussels

Moscow agreed to broaden the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), which regulates the principles of preferential trade, to the 10 new EU members, but only under the condition that Brussels takes its demands into account. According to Lamy, an agreement has already been reached on most of them. The broadening of the PCA mean s that after May 1, Poland's trade with Russia will not be subject to import surcharges, but will be conditioned by the same rules as our trading with the current 15 EU members.
