Romanian agriculture minister Petre Daea on Wednesday briefed his visiting Ukrainian counterpart Mykola Solskyi on a European Commission decision from 2nd May to introduce exceptional and temporary preventive measures on imports of a limited number of products from Ukraine. These involve wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds and are aimed at easing the logistical blockages involving these products in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The new European Commission regulations will be in place in all member states until 5th June. The first meeting between the two ministers took place in Bucharest on 21st April. They agreed to hold weekly talks on the amounts of products leaving Ukraine for transit, to provide Romania with complete and accurate data.
