Ukraine is ready to abolish tariffs on EU goods.

Ukraine is prepared to abolish tariffs on European goods in response to the temporary full liberalization of trade by the EU, announced Deputy Minister of Economy Taras Kachka. He added that Ukraine intends to abolish tariffs on agricultural products from the EU. Kachka noted that he sees a need to protect the Ukrainian market from goods from those countries (Turkey and China) with which there are no preferential terms of trade. The only industry with an economic imbalance is pork, but it is more due to African swine fever and cheese. “There has been an increase in cheese imports for years, mainly from Poland, but the total share of imported cheeses does not exceed 25%. Therefore, there are no clear signs of harm for Ukrainian cheese producers,” the deputy minister explained.
