Exemption from customs duties on Ukrainian products: No. 2 of the LR list in the European elections speaks out in favor of a reinstatement – (franceinfo)
Céline Imart, farmer and number 2 on the Les Républicains list in the European elections, is the guest of 19/20 info, Tuesday February 27. It reacts in particular to the exemption from customs duties for Ukrainian agricultural products entering Europe.
Ukrainian agricultural products enter Europe without customs duties, a measure taken to help Ukraine finance its war effort against Russia. Should this advantage be removed? “Today, we must help Ukraine, but it is not up to farmers alone, to our sectors, to pay the price of this war”estimates in the 19/20 info, Tuesday February 27, the farmer Céline Imart, number 2 on the Les Républicains (LR) list in the European elections.
Ukrainian foodstuffs that “unbalance” our markets
“We must protect, for example, the sector of our eggs, our poultry or our cereals, because these foodstuffs which arrive en masse from Ukraine are now unbalancing our markets and causing prices to fall”, continues Céline Imart. She therefore calls for “safeguard measures”. “It could actually be putting customs duties back on these foodstuffs, or in any case controlling these goods a little, their flow”she explains.
