OREANDA-NEWS. February 28, 2008. In 2008, Polish industry intends to export to Ukraine meat and meat products worth EUR 20 - 30 million, the Ukrainian Agricultural Policy Ministry quoted Poland's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Andrzej Dycha as saying, reported the Official website www.kmu.gov.ua.

Currently the exports total EUR 2 million. This low level is caused by the highly effective protection of the Ukrainian market, he noted.

Ukraine forbade the import of meat and its processing products from Poland on March 26, 2006 because of frequent cases of absence of veterinary documents required.

Ukrainian experts audited Poland's veterinary service and meat packing enterprises. In 2007, Ukraine permitted 23 Polish companies to supply meat products in its territory.
