The European Commission agreed to introduce a ban on the import of sunflower oil from Ukraine, but advocated the preservation of its transit.

This was reported by RMF24 with reference to the statement of the Minister of Agriculture Robert Telus.

According to him, Poland will not abandon the unilateral blockade of Ukrainian imports until its conditions are met.

"We will not give up our actions if we do not get the appropriate tools that guarantee that the Polish farmer will be safe when it comes to issues related to trade, the flow of goods from Ukraine to Poland," Robert Telus said after the talks with EU commissioners.

He noted that the Polish side is still negotiating a ban on the import of flour, honey, sugar, soft fruits (frozen), eggs, meat (especially poultry), milk and dairy products, as well as apple juice.

Earlier, the European Commission agreed to ban the import of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower from Ukraine to EU countries.

We will remind, yesterday Robert Telus said that Poland will appeal to the European Commission with a request to ban the import of agricultural products from Ukraine by the end of this year.
