Parliament Backs Extension of Trade Liberalisation Measure for Ukrainian Imports

Excerpt:  “MEPs voted on Thursday to renew the suspension of import duties and quotas for certain imports from Ukraine, such as iron and steel, due to expire on 5 June 2025. With the adoption of the Autonomous Trade Measures (ATM) Regulation, the EU liberalised trade with Ukraine by suspending trade defence measures on 4 June 2022. This exemption has since been renewed, with the most recent extension due to expire on 5 June. MEPs have now approved the proposed prolongation of these trade liberalisation measures, which focus steel, to provide Ukraine with vital export revenues. … The Commission is currently working on a longer-term solution to offer economic certainty for EU-Ukraine trade.”
