Norbert Lins (CDU), head of the EU’s Committee on Agriculture, calls for the EU to cover costs of transporting Ukrainian grain by land through the EU.
F – this is the grade given by Norbert Lins (CDU), head of the EU Agriculture Committee, to Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski. It is about the crisis management of Ukrainian export grain. In an interview with Markus Grabitz, he calls for logistics subsidies for Ukrainian grain exports that take the overland route through the EU. Russia should not be left to do business with the poorest countries in the bread wheat sector.
Mr. Lins, Moscow has terminated the grain agreement and is bombarding Ukraine’s grain export logistics. How is the export of the harvest going?
