KYIV, May 2 – From May 2 to June 5 this year, the European Commission banned the import of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seed originating from Ukrainian to Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The decision is published on the European Commission's website.

These exceptional and temporary preventive measures on imports of a limited number of products from Ukraine were adopted under the exceptional safeguard of the Autonomous Trade Measures Regulation. These measures are necessary given the exceptional circumstances of serious logistical bottlenecks experienced in five Member States, and may be reimposed.
