The European Commission will allocate a total of 56 mln euros in compensation to three EU countries – Romania, Bulgaria and Poland in connection with the grain deliveries growth from Ukraine, Janusz Wojciechowski stated, the Commissioner for Agriculture, reports AgroPortal.
“This is a support for countries whose farmers have suffered from increased imports from Ukraine. We are observing an increase in supply, a huge growth in imports to bordering countries,” the European Commissioner said.
In particular, the decision regarding Bulgaria and Poland was made due to the fact that the combination of their own production and imports from Ukraine exceeded the five-year average before the beginning of the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. Romania was added to the list because it is a hub country for the so-called “Solidarity Lanes”.
According to the decision adopted, Romania will receive 10 mln euros from the total amount, Bulgaria – about 17 mln euros, and Poland – 30 mln euros. At the same time, the specified amount can be doubled owing to co-financing from the budgets of the EU member states.
“Hungary and Slovakia also received more Ukrainian grain. But they will not receive support from the fund, as their combined production and import volumes do not exceed the average five-year indicator,” – added Y. Wojciechovskyi.
