July 1, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Council of the European Union’s decision to raise tariffs on imports of certain agricultural products from Russia and Belarus has come into force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe measures are designed to suppress imports into the EU of cereals, oilseeds and derived products, as well as beet-pulp pellets and dried peas, while not affecting exports to third countries and preserving global food security,\u201d the European Commission said earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe increased tariffs also apply to Belarus in light of the country\u2019s close political and economic ties to Russia,\u201d the EU executive body said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU argued that \u201cthe new tariffs are designed to prevent market destabilization within the EU and protect the EU farming community, tackle the illegal exports of Ukrainian grain mislabelled as Russian, and cut off revenue streams that could fund Russia\u2019s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
