Czechia will not ban grain imports from Ukraine

Czechia is not planning to follow Poland, Slovakia and Hungary in introducing a ban on grain imports from Ukraine, Agriculture Minister Zdeněk Nekula announced  on Monday. He said such a ban would violate the trade conditions of the European single market and the World Trade Organisation. Responding to concerns regarding the fact that Ukrainian grains are not produced in line with strict European quality norms, the minister said Czechia had intensified import controls on cereals intended for food use.
