Hungarian Agriculture Minister talks about “emergency brake”
Nagy, representing the Hungarian presidency of the Council of the EU, said the ministers would exchange views on the 2025 fishing quotas in the Mediterranean and the Black Seas.
He added that Ukrainian Minister for Agrarian Policy and Food Vitalii Koval would participate at a discussion of the situation on the EU’s internal market in the context of the war in Ukraine.
Nagy noted that an “emergency brake” for the import of some products from Ukraine, mindful of EU sensitivities, had entered force, and the ministers needed to debate the principles and ways of dealing with imports of farm products from the country. He added that the import of Ukrainian honey was an important issue for Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania.
