EU-Ukraine: Temporary trade-liberalisation measures
This regulation temporarily removes EU trade barriers for products from Ukraine to support the country's economy, especially given disruptions from Russia's war.
The measures primarily affect Ukrainian producers exporting to the EU and EU farmers, particularly those in countries bordering Ukraine, by adjusting trade rules.
It introduces temporary trade liberalisation measures that supplement existing concessions, with a reinforced safeguard mechanism allowing action if specific EU markets are adversely affected.
The Commission will closely monitor grain imports from Ukraine and can activate safeguard measures if these imports harm EU producers or markets.
