WARSAW, May 6 (Reuters) - Poland will demand European
Union sanctions on imports of Russian farm products, its
ambassador to the EU Andrzej Sados was quoted as saying on
Saturday by PAP news agency.
"Europe isn't threatened by disruptions in supply chain of
farm products now, contrary, we have a problem of surpluses. We
are resolving a problem of increased imports of farm products
from Ukraine," Sados said, according to PAP.
The European Commission earlier this week set restrictions
until June 5 on imports of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and
sunflower seed to ease the excess supply of these commodities in
Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine last year, the
EU has adopted 10 sanctions packages against Russian individuals
and companies. Poland in April proposed a new set of punitive
measures against Moscow, including a ban on pipeline oil and
diamond imports.
