Renewal of Ukraine Import Duties Suspension Progresses Through EU Parliament

The European Parliament’s International Trade Committee approved a proposal last week that would renew the EU's suspension of import duties, antidumping duties and safeguards against Ukraine for another year. Members voted 27-1, and seven abstentions, to approve the measure, which would continue to suspend import duties on agricultural products, industrial items and other goods. The proposal is scheduled to be voted on by all members next week and will need to be approved by the European Council.
