At least a half dozen countries will block Ukraine joining the EU in its current state, and another dozen will secretly be glad they don’t have to take the flack.
Ukraine is decades away from EU membership. Anyone suggesting otherwise is doing all concerned a disservice (yes, looking at you UVdL.)
But the EU has already opened its market to certain goods from Ukraine, including food. They do not have to meet the same strict standards, so their lower prices can easily push European producers out of the market. It is also worth mentioning that we end up consuming thesee products which is … I don’t know what to say.
can you elaborate what’s wrong with them? Are they just lower standard, use worse pesticides, etc? A search yields nothing relevant
Ukrainian producers do not necessarily have to follow all the same animal welfare and environmental production standards as EU farmers. As you said, they may also use certain pesticides that are not approved for use in the EU.
I should also mention that Poland introduced an embargo on certain Ukrainian agricultural products despite opposition from Brussels. We are still an independent country, and we will protect our farmers and our food standards. As a vegan, I also want to know that animals are treated as well as possible, but that is my personal point of view.
I am definitely not an expert on this topic, so I recommend looking up the sources yourself. :)
