Polish Agriculture Minister Czeslaw Sekierski announced the strengthening of control and intensification of inspections on the border with Ukraine, the press service of the agency said.
“Excessive imports of agricultural products from Ukraine, which do not meet EU production requirements, threaten the competitiveness of Polish agriculture,” the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said in a message published on social network X on Sunday.
At the same time, Poland’s Deputy Agriculture Minister Michal Kolodziejczak said he would carry out checks at the border crossing at the Jagodin-Dorogusk border crossing on Sunday, while on Saturday he carried out controls at the border in Grubieszów.
“Today’s border control is the result of specific instructions: zero tolerance for any violations. I will stand for Polish farmers and Polish food production. No one will have any doubts that our market is well protected,” Kolodziejczak was quoted as saying by Polish radio RMF24.
