Slovakia proposes creating EU fund to compensate for damages from imports from Ukraine

Bratislava Nov 6 (SPUTNIK/UNI) Slovakia is proposing the creation of a fund in the European union to compensate European farmers for damages from agricultural imports from Ukraine, Slovak Agriculture Minister Richard Takac said. "I am proposing, and I am working on this with my colleagues, the creation of a special fund for countries bordering Ukraine, whose farmers would receive compensation in the event of a threat caused by the import of these goods. This is a problem, but it is a problem primarily for countries bordering Ukraine," Takac said at a press conference yesterday.
At the end of November 2023, the Slovak government expanded the embargo on agricultural products from Ukraine from four to 14 items, including not only wheat, corn, rapeseed, and sunflower seeds, but also honey, soybeans, barley, flour, bran, cane sugar, and beet sugar.
Takac said that the ban on agricultural imports from Ukraine would remain in effect in Slovakia until a solution was found at the EU level. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico explained the ban as protecting the country's national interests.
