The Ministers of Agriculture of Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia have called on the European Commission to restore pre-war import quotas for Ukrainian agricultural products, said Hungary's Minister of Agriculture, István Nagy, as cited by BTA.

They also call on Brussels to introduce relevant sanitary and phytosanitary, animal welfare, public health and environment related regulations in line with EU standards for Ukrainian agricultural production. They also recommend a specific policy for maize imports.

The four EU member states are also requesting the introduction of a threshold for minimum import prices for relevant agricultural products, which could play a deterrent role in terms of importing agricultural goods into EU Member States at prices below the cost of domestically produced agricultural products.
