On Friday, around 2 a.m., the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Technology on the ban on imports of Ukraine agricultural products. The regulation enables the transit of agricultural goods from Ukraine through Polish territory.

FULL REGULATION

The carriage of goods through Poland will be possible on the basis of EU regulations on external transit or on the basis of the Convention on a common transit procedure drawn up in Interlaken, provided that the transit through our country ends in the seaports of Gdańsk, Gdynia, Świnoujście or Szczecin or outside the territory of Polish Republic.

The regulation enters into force on the day of its announcement, i.e. from Friday, April 21, and is to remain in force until June 30.

The new regulations, apart from the exception related to transit, are to maintain the ban on importing cereals, sugar, dried fodder, seeds, hops, flax and hemp, fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetable products to Poland from Ukraine.

Wine, beef and veal, milk and dairy products, pork, mutton and goat meat, eggs, poultry meat, ethyl alcohol, bee products and “other products” will also be banned.
