🗣️ Transcrição automática de voz para texto.

Poland and Ukraine are very particular neighbors uh in terms of Agriculture because uh in in comparison with other neighbors we have intensive agricultural trade trade in both directions sometimes the products that are subjects of complaints of uh EU farmers are the products that are as well exported to

Ukraine in even in bigger amount like like for poultry for example because we export to Poland only 4,000 tons and we purchase from Poland 40,000 tons of of poultry so we are net importer of poultry from Poland but this Paradox uh is is in the statistics but not in the

Minds of farmers who believe that uh Ukraine is a source of of problems for for Polish agriculture so is it fair to say that a lot of the protests or the protestations from farmers in Poland and Slovakia and so on I mean it doesn’t um stand up to scrutiny essentially that

The problem isn’t as bad as they’re making it out to be and can easily actually be reconciled if this problem is tackled In classical EU way with analysis figures boring decisions committees Etc it can be tackled easily and but now we have like a new political

Era in the EU with a lot of protests with a lot of emotions and this is something new that we need to to learn how to tackle both within the EU and for Ukraine because it will impact our accession process and on that are you confident that the EU has your back here

That it will defend uh the reality rather than the emotions I really believe in uh EU institutions experience on how to manage very contradicting interests and this is exactly the topic of green deal because green deal is the let’s say is number one in ranking of protest of of farmers ac across Europe

Ukraine is a solution for for the problem of green deal green deal and Farmers because Ukrainian farmers use less fertilizers less pesticides uh we have more land that can be free as as it was proposed within within green deal so this 4% of of uh land that should be uh

Let’s say less used for for agricultural purposes so if you include Ukraine into this equation you can be surprised that the goals of climate policy as as proposed by the EU and the interest of farmers can be let’s say equalized and and and just can be balanced okay

Minister thank you very much for joining us this morning
