The European Commission has adopted a proposal to impose tariffs on a number of agricultural products from Russia and Belarus, as well as on certain nitrogen-based fertilisers.
The Commission’s proposal will now be considered by the European Parliament and the Council under qualified majority voting, under the Common Commercial Policy legal basis of Article 207 of the TFEU.
Maroš Šefčovič, Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, said: “These tariffs are carefully calibrated to serve multiple goals. We aim to weaken further Russia’s war economy, while reducing EU dependencies, supporting our industry, and preserving global food security. We will take every step necessary to protect our fertilisers industry and farmers.”
