Polish government has recognized that all Ukrainian grain is in transit

Reports that Ukrainian grain remains in Poland despite the embargo have not been confirmed. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Poland Michal Kolodziejczak, according to the PAP agency.

He noted that Ukrainian grain is currently in transit through Poland and is not imported into the country.

“Neither wheat, nor corn, nor rapeseed. These products do not stay here,” the deputy minister emphasized.

Kolodziejczak said that over the past few weeks he has received several news reports about the alleged unloading of Ukrainian goods in Poland, which should have only passed through the country. “None of these reports have been confirmed,” he added.

At the same time, the deputy minister expressed concern that Ukrainian products are displacing Polish ones from EU markets.

According to him, quotas should be introduced for goods from Ukraine entering the EU. Their transportation outside the EU should also be made more efficient.

“We are currently allowing ourselves to be pushed out of Western European markets, and this is a fact,” he said.

At the same time, Kolodziejczak noted that today, February 21, the agriculture ministers of Poland and Ukraine are to hold talks.

“Today the ball is in Ukraine’s court. Either they want to reach an agreement with us, or we will have to impose further restrictions,” he said.

In addition, negotiations between representatives of the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and the protesters will begin next week.
