The government “calls on the European Commission (EC) to extend the ban on grain imports from Ukraine after September 15, 2023. Otherwise, Poland will independently introduce such a ban at the national level”, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a statement from the office.
Such ban concerns the imports of four agricultural products: wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds, it said.
In May, the European Commission imposed a ban on grain exports from Ukraine to Poland and four other European countries. The restrictions are due to expire on September 15.
“The Polish government does not accept a situation in which the Polish market is destabilized by Ukrainian grain,” the prime minister’s office said.
