The European Commission is preparing for a potential no-deal scenario in trade negotiations with Ukraine as the current trade scheme expires on June 5. They are exploring transitional measures if the review of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) is not finalized by then. The existing Autonomous Trade Measures (ATMs) for Ukrainian agricultural exports, introduced due to Russia's invasion, cannot be renewed. The EU aims to establish a formal free trade agreement, but agriculture remains a sensitive issue, with differing expectations from the EU and Ukraine. The Commission emphasizes the need for stability and predictability in trade relations. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
