- The EU Council approved a one-year suspension of 5.5–6.5% customs duties on certain nitrogen-based fertilisers and inputs.
- The measure aims to lower costs for EU farmers and the fertiliser industry, with expected savings of about €60 million in import duties.
- It also seeks to reduce reliance on Russian and Belarusian fertiliser supplies and support more diversified trade routes.
- The suspension applies only to eligible fertilisers not already duty-free, with quota limits based on 2024 import volumes; it excludes products from Russia and Belarus.
- The Commission will monitor the market and may extend or adjust the measure; it takes effect after publication in the Official Journal.
