Over the next two days, veterinary, sanitary, and phytosanitary control will be transferred from the Ukrainian-Polish border to the port of Klaipeda (Lithuania) for all agricultural cargoes heading to this port. This will speed up transit through Poland.

This was agreed upon by Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Poland Robert Telus, and Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania Kęstutis Navickas during a regular online meeting this morning.

Mykola Solskyi informed that Ukraine had suggested moving veterinary, sanitary, and phytosanitary control from the Ukrainian-Polish border to the Lithuanian port.

Robert Telus and Kęstutis Navickas noted that their governments supported such a control mechanism and considered it a constructive step.
