The Polish government plans to appeal to the European Commission today on Sept. 12 to extend the import ban on Ukrainian grain products in five EU countries, the government's spokesperson Piotr Müller told Polsat News.
My understanding is that Poland and the other bordering countries -- also grain producers -- are okay with being transit countries for grain being shipped through the EU, but object to having the grain being sold in the EU.
To be precise, they are OK with the grain being sold to Spain and other Western Europe countries, but object to having the grain being sold in Poland and other bordering countries.
No, the ban is only for domestic sales in Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Romania. Apparently it’s meant to help local farmers that also produce it. Grain is still flowing through to be sold in other eu countries.
