Baltic: No EU subsidies for Ukrainian grain transport: EU Commissioner

The European Commission (EC) is not considering paying subsidies to cover the cost of transporting Ukrainian grain through Baltic ports, EC Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis stated. Speaking in an interview with BNS, Dombrovskis said that the EC may provide financing for removing administrative or infrastructure bottlenecks, however. Also, the EC supported Lithuania’s proposal to move customs, phytosanitary, and other procedures from the Ukrainian-Polish border to EU ports such as Klaipeda, Dombrovskis added.
