The Polish government on September 12 has adopted a resolution to continue the ban of grain imports from Ukraine.

Earlier, the Minister of agriculture and rural development of Poland Robert Telus has announced that in the document it will be said that if the European Commission will not extend the ban, Poland will impose a ban on its own. 

At the same time, he informed that the transit of Ukrainian grain will be allowed. 

Moreover, the Polish Government addressed the European Commission asking to extend the ban of grain imports from Ukraine till the end of the year. 

The Government calls on the European Commission to:

• to extend the ban of imports from Ukraine of 4 types of agricultural products: wheat, corn, sunflower seeds and rapeseed after September 15, 2023;
• take immediate steps to develop solutions that ensure the stable and efficient functioning of local producers in Poland and the European Union.

If the European Commission does not extend the ban on grain imports from Ukraine after 15 September, 2023, Poland will introduce such a ban on its own at the national level. The ban will remain in effect as long as the agricultural relations between Poland and Ukraine are regulated.
