“Chicken Kiev baron on course for big EU trade win,” Politico headlines from Brussels. Under a plan emerging from the EU headquarters, Ukraine’s quota of chicken breasts would more than triple, increasing to 70,000 tons, from 20,000 today. The goal is to eliminate the ‘Batman cut’ loophole. Under this ruse, Yuriy Kosyuk’s MHP exports to the EU chicken breasts with bones still inside. EU meatpackers slice out the bones and sell the breasts tariff-free. The final deal needs the approval of EU member governments.
