According to Financial Times with reference to three officials, next week, the European Commission will study the issue of the introduction of stricter import restrictions.

First, import prohibition can affect soybeans, “cultivated with pesticides that EU farmers are prohibited.”

“We have very clear signs of Parliament, very clear signs of the Member States and our farmers: everything that is prohibited in the EU must be prohibited in the EU, even if it is an imported product,” he said in January in a conversation conversation with the European Commissioner of FT in Oliver Varheli.

According to the newspaper, one of the hazardous substances is Parakvat, a prohibited herbicide in the EU, which is used in the United States when they cultivate agricultural crops, including soy.

According to FT, a possible prohibition of the importation of certain products can be a measure of protection of farmers against the context of threats of US President Donald Trump to introduce additional tariffs on Europe’s goods.

At the beginning of February, Trump ordered a 25% task on the goods of Canada and Mexico, as well as 10% of the duties of China’s products. The president of the United States also threatened to introduce tariffs for the assets of the European Union.
