EU may impose sanctions on Poland if embargo on Ukrainian grain not lifted

The vast majority of EU member states have not supported the idea of an embargo extension on Ukrainian grain imports after September 15.

And some countries may even apply countermeasures in the case of Poland's unilateral decisions, Report informs referring to the European Pravda citing the Polish radio station RMF FM.

The European Commission believes that Poland's unilateral embargo extension on Ukrainian grain is a violation of European law. Poland may face fines for this, but the application process takes a long time.

RMF FM sources said Poland is afraid of trade countermeasures that some EU countries may introduce. In particular, Germany, but in general, up to 20 countries are against the extension.

Poland also assumed that other Eastern European states may refuse to support the embargo after September 15.

RMF FM unofficially discovered that, most likely, Romania will not go against the European Commission decision, but the same decision may be adopted by others, including Bulgaria, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary.
