The profile Association of Ukraine intends to seek an embargo on the import of Belarusian dairy products

‘We believe that in this case it is necessary to apply Article 29 of the law "On Foreign Economic Activity" on protection from unfriendly actions of states or economic groups. We believe that the Republic of Belarus has taken such discriminatory and unfriendly actions against Ukraine,’ he said.

Chagarovsky said that in 2015 Belarus supported the Russian embargo on the import of Ukrainian dairy products, which came into effect on January 1, 2016. At the same time, the Ukrainian market is currently open for the products of 14 dairy processing enterprises from Belarus.

According to Article 29 of the law "On Foreign Economic Activity", in response to discriminatory and/or unfriendly actions of other states, customs unions or economic groups, Ukraine may apply a complete or partial ban on trade; deprivation of the most favored or preferential special regime; introduction of special duties; introduction of a licensing regime for foreign economic operations; establishment of quotas.
