As it was reported, on May 22, the European Commission approved a list of transitional measures for Ukrainian exports to the EU, which would enter into force on June 6, 2025 after the expiry of autonomous trade measures for Ukraine, known as “trade visa waiver”.
Stephanishina explained that it is an intermediate solution that will avoid the worst scenario and reach a stable decision under the Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.
“There is no termination of free trade: the EU market remains open to Ukrainian goods. We have agreed to work quickly and constructively to achieve a long -term solution,” Viceremierka stressed.
According to her, the EU understands the critical importance for Ukraine in the conditions of war of predictable and clear conditions of trade, the importance of agro -export for the economic stability of the country.
“There is a clear political will to find a balanced decision by the end of July 2025,” Stephanishina said.
Prehistory:
- Even at the end of April, “European truth” wrote that the European Commission did not plan to continue the regime of autonomous trade measures for Ukraine (the so -called “trade visa waiver”), which operates until June 5, but will ensure a smooth transition to a new scheme, where all conditions of trade liberalization will be recorded in the Agreement.
- It is worth noting that the European Parliament has voted for the introduction of preferential export regime from Ukraine steel and iron since June 6, 2025.
