(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, JAN 31 - The European Union on
Wednesday proposed extending tariff-free entry for Ukrainian
farm products for a year from June, but with "safeguards" to
stop cheaper imports flooding the market at the expense of
Europe's own farmers. The proposal allows for "quick remedial
action... in case of significant disruptions to the EU market",
and for the most sensitive products -- poultry, eggs and sugar
-- an "emergency brake" would be used to stabilise imports at
the average volumes of 2022 and 2023, a European Commission
statement said. (ANSA-AFP).
