Ukraine will be integrated into the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy under a special model designed to protect European farmers while preserving opportunities for Ukrainian agricultural exports to traditional markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
This was stated by European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, according to Interfax-Ukraine.
According to her, the specific terms for integrating Ukraine’s agricultural sector will be determined by EU Member States together with Ukraine during the accession negotiations under Cluster 5.
The European Commission previously proposed introducing special conditions for Ukraine’s EU membership in the agricultural sector, including with regard to grain trade. This would involve maintaining access to traditional export markets, primarily in North Africa.
Marta Kos emphasised that this approach should simultaneously protect European producers and support the development of Ukraine’s agricultural sector through adaptation to EU rules and continued exports to third-country markets.
