The expansion of EU exports quotas for Ukrainian goods is a top priority for the Ukrainian government, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Ukraine’s Trade Representative Nataliya Mykolska has said.
“We expect that in the near future when the European Parliament returns from holidays, committees will discuss it and then we will be able to say that the situation is moving… The government, jointly with colleagues from the Verkhovna Rada committees, works with European parliamentarians to make the decision a top priority of the agenda,” she said at a briefing in Kyiv.
Mykolska also positively assessed the adoption of the bill on providing the aggressive exports expansion of Ukrainian manufacturers via insuring, guaranteeing and cheapening of exports crediting that envisages the creation of the export-credit agency in Ukraine.
“We had considerable frictions with the authors [of the bill], and the government did not support it. At the last stage, thanks to the personal participation of Volodymyr Groysman and Stepan Kubiv, we reached some compromises. In general, the bill creates a good legislative base for the creation of the agency,” she said.
