The European Parliament has extended duty-free status for Ukrainian goods.

The Committee of the European Parliament on International Trade has extended the cancellation of import duties on Ukrainian exports to the EU for another year. All European Parliament members are expected to vote on the draft law at the May 8-11 meeting.

The document provides for the suspension of tariffs on fruits and vegetables subject to the input price system and on agricultural products and processed agricultural products subject to tariff quotas.

Industrial goods have been taxed at zero duty since January 1, 2023, following the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, so they are not included in the new proposal. It is also expected that the post-presidencies will approve this decision from the EU member states on April 28.
