Ukraine will sue the EU because Poland
23:10
The Ukrainian authorities are preparing a lawsuit against the European Union in connection with Poland's refusal to increase the number of permits for cargo transportation in 2022. At the same time, Kyiv is increasing the number of rail connections with our country.
Such actions were announced by Taras Kachka, Ukraine's deputy economy minister and sales representative, as the decision of the Polish side is inconsistent with the FTA agreement.
"We hope that this situation will change and that Poland will increase the number of permits because it is in the interest of all parties," Deputy Minister Kachka said, quoted by Ukrinform.
According to a Ukrainian official, the position of the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure on permits for cargo transportation is currently the main problem in the development of trade between Ukraine and the EU.
While there will be less freight from Ukraine via Poland, the number of rail connections will increase. On December 22, Ukrainian railways "Ukrzaliznytsia" start two additional trains from Lviv to Przemyśl.
