< p>Polish authorities signed an agreement with protesting farmers.
Authorities Poland reached an agreement with farmers who have been protesting for several months and signed an agreement on subsidies per ton of grain and the temporary closure of the border with Ukraine for the transit of some agricultural products.
This is reported by Polskie Radio.
The document was signed by representatives of farmers, as well as the Minister of Agriculture Czeslaw Sekierski and the State Secretary of the Ministry Michal Kolodziejczak.
The agreement involves maintaining the current embargo on agricultural products from Ukraine, which has been in effect since mid-September last year. It concerns in particular wheat, corn, wheat flour, rapeseed and sunflower.
In addition, the Minister of Agriculture must request the Council of Ministers to suspend the transit of these products through Polish territory from April 1 this year.
In the signed document, both parties also consider it necessary to develop detailed rules for trade in agricultural products between Poland and Ukraine, but emphasize that the difficult situation in agriculture is the result of Russian aggression against Kiev.
In the agreement, farmers' representatives declare their government's support for changes to the Green Deal.
Let us recall that that farmers warned the day before that they would hold hundreds of protests in Poland on March 20. They announced blocking of roads in more than 500 settlements (map).
