The FINANCIAL — A joint EU-Ukraine Statement on 1 October described new autonomous trade measures for Ukraine as “good news for Ukrainian exporters”.
“Several important agricultural and industrial goods will now get better access to the EU market, as they can be exported tariff-free,” the statement said.
The statement by European Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström and Ukraine’s Deputy Minister for Economic Development and Trade, Nataliya Mykolska, highlighted the importance of the trade measures: “This is an important sign of the EU’s continued, tangible economic and political support for the Ukrainian people, the country and its reform efforts.”
“The EU Regulation on autonomous trade measures will top up the quantities of agricultural products that Ukraine can export to the EU under the Association Agreement without paying customs duties. It will also accelerate the elimination of EU import tariffs for several industrial products, as foreseen in the Association Agreement.”
“The EU and Ukraine continue to work to ensure the opportunities and benefits for EU and Ukraine business within the framework of the DCFTA,” the Statement concluded.
