The ministers of agriculture of Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania have signed a joint declaration concerning the agricultural aspects of the amended trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine, the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture announced.

The agriculture ministers of the EU member states bordering Ukraine called for a revision of protection mechanisms for European producers, with a special focus on the interests of the five countries. They expressed concerns over increased quotas for products such as honey, eggs, sugar, and the liberalization of the market for certain dairy products. The ministers are calling for the introduction of minimum import price thresholds for these products. They also call on the European Commission to consider establishing a special fund to compensate EU agricultural producers for possible losses in the event of excessive imports from Ukraine.
