BRUSSELS, July 25 - Ukrainian grain could be exported via solidarity lanes in the absence of the Black Sea grain deal, but EU's support will be needed to balance transit costs, European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski has said.

"The continuation of the Black Sea corridor, the continuation of this deal, probably we can say there will be no further problem with the imports to the frontline member states... Now we have a different situation and we have to consider all consequences of the situation," Wojciechowski said at a press conference in Brussels following a meeting of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council on Tuesday.
