This project is titled "Procurement Initiative of German Economy" and was already successfully tested in the Balkans.

"We want to take a closer look and properly assess which semi-finished products and components are produced in Ukraine so well that they can be supplied to the European Union. We agreed with the Ukrainian government on this issue," Harms said.
