The proposal to increase the trade preferences for duty-free supplying of certain Ukrainian products, recently supported by the European Commission, is the indicator of increasing the qualitative indices of Ukrainian products, declared the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine for European Integration, Olga Trofimtseva on October 28.
Increasing of the quotas for the list of Ukrainian goods provides additional opportunities for Ukrainian producers to enlarge the revenues from the trade with the EU by nearly 200 mln USD per year. It is rather significant index, but the European Parliament and EU member states still have to support the decision. The additional quotas will operate for 3 years, explained the Deputy Minister.
O.Trofimtseva added that to date, 226 Ukrainian agricultural enterprises have the right to export products to the EU, including the producers of dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, honey, etc.
As a reminder, the EU published a proposal to increase the quotas for duty-free imports of Ukrainian products.
