Polish Radio writes about it.
The second support package of the European Commission for farmers from five countries, including Poland, will be increased from 75 million euros to 100 million euros.
The final decision on financial support will be made in the coming days. This decision must be approved by the representatives of the member states later. For Poland, the amount of aid will reach about 30 million euros.
It is noted that the European Commission will propose steps to ensure that grain from Ukraine reaches its destination – Africa, and does not remain in neighboring countries, as this has caused destabilization of internal agricultural markets in the EU.
On Saturday, April 15, Warsaw approved a ban on the import of Ukrainian grain and other food products to Poland. The government emphasized that this decision does not change the country's position regarding support and friendship with Ukraine.
A spokesman for the European Commission said that unilateral actions by EU member states regarding trade are unacceptable, against the background of Ukrainian grain import ban by Poland and Hungary.
