R to @EU_Commission: The measures are designed to achieve several objectives:

▪️ to prevent EU market destabilisation

▪️ to tackle Russian exports of illegally appropriated grain produced in the territories of Ukraine

▪️ to prevent Russia from using revenues from exports to the EU to fund its war of aggression against Ukraine.

[2024-03-22 09:30 UTC]

We are proposing to increase the tariffs on imports into the EU of cereals, oilseeds, and derived grain products from Russia and Belarus.
These tariffs, while high enough to suppress such imports into the EU in practice, would not affect exports to third countries.

This is why we are putting in place rules to strengthen equality bodies.

This is why we are supporting national anti-racism plans.

And this is why we are addressing structural racism in all relevant areas.
