The European Commission has proposed a cap on duty-free imports of some Ukrainian produce in response to protests from European farmers. Oats, eggs, poultry, and sugar could face limits to prevent competition with EU farmers, while other imports remain duty-free until 2025. The decision aims to address concerns over cheap Ukrainian products flooding the market. However, farmer unions criticize the proposal as inadequate, pushing for more restrictions. Protests have erupted in Poland as farmers continue to voice their discontent. EU officials have made concessions to ease tensions, including relaxing sustainability targets for the agricultural sector.
