Pavlenko: Ukraine may impose embargo on food imports from Moldova
Ukraine will be forced to introduce embargo on food imports from Moldova, if Moldova closes its market for the imports of Ukrainian dairy products.
Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Oleksiy Pavlenko said this during his speech at the European Business-Association of Ukraine.
“If Moldova closes its market for Ukrainian dairy products, Ukraine will introduce embargo on a range of Moldavian products,” Pavlenko said.
At the same time, the agrarian policy minister has said the ministry plans to settle the issue of Ukrainian dairy products’ access to the market of Moldova.
“Foreign Minister [Pavlo] Klimkin has already made a relevant inquiry to settle the situation. For my part, I’m conducting talks with my Moldavian colleague. He is a nice person, professional, that’s why I hope to find a common language with him,” Pavlenko said.
