KYIV, Jan 24 – Austria is convinced that Ukraine should have access to the European market after June 5, 2024, Austrian Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry, Regions and Water Management Norbert Totschnig has said.

"The extension of regulation is the existing access [of Ukraine to trade with the European market valid until June 5, 2024]. This is solidarity towards Ukraine. It remains unchanged," he said during a break between a meeting of the EU Council on Agriculture Economy and Fisheries in Brussels on Tuesday.
