Earlier, EC President Ursula von der Leyen announced the start of preparations for the introduction of tariffs on cereal products from Belarus and Russia. “Another clear example of unfair competition,” Peskov told reporters.
Responding to the corresponding question, he confirmed that European consumers will undoubtedly suffer from restrictions on the import of agricultural products. Russia, the Kremlin representative recalled, has many alternative directions for supply. “Here, of course, experts must consider what the quantitative flows will be like there, how much these de facto prohibitive measures will offset,” he said.
It should be noted that the EC described the objective of the planned measures as the fight against the destabilization of the European market for Russian grain.
