Direct language spokesman: “Indeed, I recently received information that the relevant implementation act was adopted in the relevant committee, and therefore it will come into force. We now expect it to happen on June 6.”

Details: He recalled that since 2022, the EU has introduced autonomous trade measures for Ukraine that provided Ukraine with preferential conditions for export to the European Union.

“Now we are not looking for an annual continuation of these measures, we are looking for a long -term solution. That is why we focus on the PVZVT, in -depth and comprehensive free trade agreement, which has existed between the European Union and Ukraine since 2016. Negotiations are currently underway.

But as a responsible institution, we should also be prepared for possible transitional measures that have recently been approved in the relevant committee, “he said.
