– present the ban on imports of agricultural products from Ukraine negotiated with the European Commission by the government expires. A ban that was originally to be by the end of the year. We inactive do not have the European Commission's decision to extend it.
The Confederacy strongly, from the very beginning and in all case, stands on the side of Polish interests. In particular, the interests of farmers. ...
We are talking about the ban on imports of wheat, rape, maize and sunflower. We request that also include another products from Ukraine that destruct the Polish food sector:
– poultry meat,
– eggs,
– soft fruit (especially raspberries),
– spirits,
– honey,
– apple concentrate.
All these things we talk about are produced by large agricultural or food holding companies. frequently listed on global exchanges. And which do not have much to do with average Ukrainians and the destiny of Ukrainian-Russian struggles on the war front.
We cannot destruct our economy in the name of Ukraine's help. This policy has been advocated by all parties outside the Confederacy, and unfortunately this policy has been implemented. Let us remind you that The PiS government voted 3 times this year to open the EU marketplace to Ukraine:
1. At the Permanent Representatives Committee He didn't veto it.
2. In the European Parliament The PiS Members voted in favour.
3. In the Council of the European Union This was supported by a typical of the PiS government.
And how does that work? Here are any facts.
In the first weeks of 2023 imports of fresh eggs from Ukraine increased by almost 2500%.
During the first 8 weeks of 2023, the territory of the European Union from Ukraine entered more than 32 000 tonnes of poultrymeat. Which means increase by almost 100%. Most of this meat comes from a giant agricultural holding of MHP registered in Cyprus.
In the first months of this year, Poland from Ukraine was brought close 40,000 tonnes of frozen raspberry. yearly production in Poland is 70 1000 tonnes. Which means We have put more than half the yearly Polish production on the market!
In 2022, a full of almost all Ukrainians were brought to Poland 9 million litres of pure alcohol.
All these products are cheaper due to the fact that their producers never had to meet the Union standards. So there is no equal competition. We are talking about the flooding of the marketplace in products of a different quality, frequently worse, based on another regulations and legal standards. These products should never be allowed into the Union market. And contrary to the promises of the European Union, they were allowed. ...
