(9) The preferential arrangements established by this Regulation should also be conditional upon Ukraine abstaining from introducing new duties or charges having equivalent effect and new quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect, from increasing existing levels of duties or charges, or from introducing any other restrictions on trade with the Union, unless clearly justified in the context of Russia’s war of aggression and in mutually agreed cases.

Amendment 17 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11

(11) Subject to an assessment by the Commission carried out in the context of the regular monitoring of the impact of this Regulation and launched either following a duly substantiated request from a Member State or on the Commission’s own initiative, it is necessary to provide for the possibility to take any necessary measures for imports of any products falling under the scope of this Regulation which are adversely affecting the Union market or the market of one or several Member States for like or directly competing products. There is a particularly precarious situation in the markets for cereals, poultry, eggs, and sugar that may harm Union agricultural producers if imports from Ukraine were to increase. It is appropriate to introduce an automatic safeguard for cereals. eggs, poultry, and sugar products that is activated if quantities imported pursuant to this Regulation exceed the arithmetic mean of quantities in 20221 and 20232. The quantities for this period would provide a good compromise between the average EU imports from Ukraine before and after the war. In addition, this limitation would also allow to redirect part of Ukrainian exports to their traditional markets in North Africa and Central Asia where Russia is currently dumping its cereal and oilseeds production in order to gain political influence to the detriment of the EU.

Amendment 9 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4

(4) Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine since 24 February 2022 has had a profoundly negative impact on the ability of Ukraine to trade with the rest of the world, both because of the destruction of production capacity and the unavailability of a significant proportion of means of transport due to, for example, the restriction and uncertainty of access to the Black Sea. Under such exceptional circumstances and to mitigate the negative economic impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, it is necessary to accelerate the development of closer economic relations between the Union and Ukraine in order to provide continued support to the Ukrainian authorities and population. It is therefore necessary and appropriate to continue stimulating trade flows and granting concessions in the form of trade-liberalisation measures for all products, in line with the acceleration of the elimination of customs duties on trade between the Union and Ukraine, while at the same time preserving the livelihood of the European producers, among others, in countries in vicinity of Ukraine.

Recital 7

(7) The temporary trade-liberalisation measures established by this Regulation should take the following form: (i) the suspension of the application of the entry price system to fruit and vegetables; (ii) the suspension of tariff-rate quotas and import duties; and (iii) the suspension of the application of Chapter V ~~and Article 24~~ of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 of the European Parliament and of the Council 11.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11

(11) Subject to an assessment by the Commission carried out in the context of the regular monitoring of the impact of this Regulation and launched either following a duly substantiated request from a Member State or on the Commission’s own initiative, it is because of the specific difficulties that have arisen at the moment of the adoption of this regulation necessary to provide for the possibility to take any necessary measures for imports of any products falling under the scope of this Regulation which are adversely affecting the Union market or the market of one or several Member States for like or directly competing products. There is a particularly precarious situation in the markets for poultry, eggs, and sugar that may harm Union agricultural producers if imports from Ukraine were to increase. It is appropriate to introduce an automatic safeguard for eggs, poultry, and sugar products that is activated if quantities imported pursuant to this Regulation exceed the arithmetic mean of quantities in 2022 and 2023. It is important that the regime for safeguard measures provided for in this Regulation allow the Union to address this exceptional situation and does not set a precedent for future trade- liberalisation measures for Ukraine. This exceptional situation could justify the open definition of possible safeguard measures, the possibility to apply such measures in situations where adverse effects are limited to the market of one or several Member States and the introduction of automatic safeguards as provisions of an exceptional nature.

Amendment 12 #

Markéta GREGOROVÁ

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)

(11 a) As the application of different measures taken at Member State level would threaten the unity of the Union's common commercial policy and could create obstacles to the internal market, it is necessary that safeguard measures aiming at addressing adverse effects on the Union market or the market of one or several Member States for products covered by this regulation are adopted exclusively pursuant to this Regulation.

Recital 11

(11) Subject to an assessment by the Commission carried out in the context of the regular monitoring of the impact of this Regulation and launched either following a duly substantiated request from a Member State or on the Commission’s own initiative, it is necessary to provide for the possibility to take any necessary measures for imports of any products falling under the scope of this Regulation which are adversely affecting the Union market or the market of one or several Member States for like or directly competing products. There is a particularly precarious situation in the markets for cereals, poultry, eggs, honey and sugar that may harm Union agricultural producers if imports from Ukraine were to increase. It is appropriate to introduce an automatic safeguard for cereals like common wheat, barley, oats and maize, as well as for honey, eggs, poultry, and sugar products that is activated if quantities imported pursuant to this Regulation exceed the arithmetic mean of quantities in 20221 and 20232. This reference period reflects the import quantities before and during the trade liberalisation, which was implemented as a direct response of solidarity to Ukraine in the face of Russia’s war of aggression, including the Russian blockade in the Black Sea, which also facilitated the Russian takeover of traditional markets for Ukrainian agricultural exports in North Africa and Central Asia, where Russia is currently dumping its cereal and oilseed products to gain political influence to the detriment of the EU.
