Agreement with Ukraine on end of chicken trick

The EU is increasing the amount of tariff-free chicken that Ukraine can export to Europe from twenty to seventy million kilos.

Last year it appeared that after six months, 25 million kilos of chicken meat from Ukraine had been imported into the EU at a zero rate. That was much more than anticipated when the EU concluded an association agreement with the country and was at the expense of the Dutch poultry sector, among others.
