The European Commission is 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.

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.
