Ukraine 🇺🇦 filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization against Hungary 🇭🇺, Poland 🇵🇱and Slovakia 🇸🇰 who is keeping their borders closed to importing Ukrainian grain after an EU 🇪🇺 restriction expired on Sept. 15 which previously allowed these countries to ban domestic sales of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds. They however are allowing transit of Ukrainian grain. Previously, Poland, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, Hungary, Romania 🇷🇴 and Slovakia had signed off on a joint declaration regarding the ban’s extension until at least the end of 2023. Post Sept. 15th, Bulgaria and Romania is allowing Ukrainian grain imports again due to Kiev’s plan to start “legal measures” such as a 30-day licensing system, to avoid new surges in grain exports. Now, Croatia 🇭🇷 has joined Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, with PM Andrej Plenkovic referring to importing Ukrainian grain: “is cheaper than ours, which would mean our farmers are in trouble”. Slovakia’s agriculture minister, Jozef Bires, said Ukraine had “no legal basis” for the WTO complaint. Poland’s minister for European Union affairs, Szymon Szynkowski vel Sek, said Ukraine was hurting itself with the WTO move. Ukraine threatens to consider retaliatory trade restrictions. Logistical bottlenecks mean large quantities of Ukrainian grains , have ended up in central European states, hitting prices and sales of local farmers . The termination of the Black Sea grain deal increases the pressure on the land transport of agricultural products in Europe and can aggravate tension between Ukraine and its neighbours.
