The parliamentary Committee: Poland is not ready to be Russia's response to punishment
Vadim Radionov. Poland was not ready for the Russian response to the European punishment, said the first day of the weekend in an interview to the Latvian radio station Deputy head of the Committee of the Sejm of Poland in international relations Tadeusz Iwinski.
Russia on August 7 year limited the import of a number of items from States that have entered against her punishment: USA, EU, Canada, Australia and Norway. In the corresponding list includes beef, pork, fruits, poultry, cheeses and dairy products, nuts, and other products.
" Poland, by itself, supported, punishment EU against Russia, although We knew that We are the most vulnerable in the case of contracti, because We are the only EU country that borders with Ukraine and Russia. Also, Russia is the second largest partner of Poland in the trade, after Germany. We export to the Russian Federation a large number of products, as well as among them fruits and vegetables, " he told Iwinski.
" I think that the current government is not prepared for this situation. Once We decided to impose sanctions against Russia, We were obliged to prepare for a retaliatory strike. Punishment is a stick of 2 ends. They now suffer from our manufacturer, " added the people's choice.
according to his statement, Brussels is unlikely to be able to compensate Poland for the loss from punishment.
" Poland is a key global supplier of apples, paprika, cabbage. It is not those products that are difficult to get, to grow, to keep in good condition. At the present time itself is the action " Eat apples ", But this will be too little. The Minister of agriculture of Poland, late, But tried to have a dialogue with the European Commission for the compensation of losses and the creation of the so-called European solidarity Fund, from which all European farmers and peasants, victims of the embargo Russia could receive compensation, " said Iwinski.
" But, unfortunately, the development of such a Fund is not a matter of a few days, and all policies from Brussels to leave. For this reason, We are currently looking for fresh markets, the ability to distribute the surplus products in schools, to help the pensioners. But despite This, the Polish economy has already caused major damage ", concluded the MP.
