Expiration of restrictive measures on Ukrainian grain exports to the EU

Following the expiration of restrictive measures on Ukrainian exports to the EU of cereals and other food products, Ukraine agrees to introduce measures to prevent a new spike in imports to the EU.

The European Commission has analysed the data related to the impact of the exports of 4 categories of agricultural products on the EU market. It has concluded that thanks to the work of the Coordination Platform, bringing together Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the European Commission, and to the temporary measures introduced on 2 May 2023, the market distortions in the 5 Member States bordering Ukraine have disappeared.

A constructive attitude of all participants in the platform helped to solve concrete problems and ensured that exports to third countries outside the EU are flowing and even increasing.

As a result, it has been agreed that:

Existing measures expire on 15th September.
Ukraine has agreed to introduce any legal measures (including, for example, an export licensing system) within 30 days to avoid grain surges.
Until then, Ukraine is to put in place from 16.09.2023 effective measures to control the export of 4 groups of goods in order to prevent any market distortions in the neighbouring Member States. Ukraine will submit an Action Plan to the platform no later than close-of-business on Monday 18 September 2023.
The European Commission and Ukraine will monitor the situation via the platform to be able to react to any unforeseen situations.
The European Commission will refrain from imposing any restrictions as long as the effective measures by Ukraine are in place and fully working.
