The Committee on International Trade of the European Parliament approved the extension of the abolition of European Union customs duties on Ukrainian exports for another year.
This is stated in the message of the European Parliament, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
Members of the Committee on International Trade approved a proposal to extend the suspension of import duties, anti-dumping duties and protective measures on Ukrainian exports to the European Union for another year against the backdrop of Russia's aggressive war, which limits Ukraine's ability to trade with the rest of the world. The suspension of tariffs applies to fruits and vegetables subject to the input price system, as well as agricultural products and processed agricultural products subject to tariff quotas," the message reads.
At the same time, according to the notification, industrial goods are taxed at zero duty from January 1, 2023 in accordance with the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, so they are not included in the new proposal.
It is noted that the EU is Ukraine's largest trading partner, accounting for 39.5% of its trade in 2021.
Ukraine is the 15th largest trading partner of the EU, accounting for about 1.2% of the total volume of EU trade.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in May 2022, the EU canceled customs duties on all Ukrainian goods for 1 year.
