Moldova published the decree on the import restrictions Ukrainian goods.

In late April, the Moldovan government introduced quotas and protective tariffs on products of animal origin and Ukrainian cement production.

On the specified products will be set quotas on imports of goods and above the quota – protective duties. Quotas will be handed out on a “first come – first took shape.” Throughout the Ukrainian production over quota will be charged fee: milk and cream – 10%, other dairy products – 15% for butter and cheese – from 15% to 20% plus EUR 500 per 1 ton. Meat products will be subject to a fee of 15% and cement – 10%.

Customs duties on imports of milk and milk powder will be extended to local producers. Introduced quotas in the government of Moldova explained the request on the part of local producers. In the explanatory memorandum also states that last year the volume of Ukrainian dairy products (sour cream, kefir, yogurt) rose 1.5 times, meat – 14 times, and cement – 6 times.

The growth of imports of Ukrainian products in the explanatory memorandum justified the embargo on these products from the side of Russia. As for cement, the ban was the response to the decline of Moldovan exports of cement in Ukraine – both due to lower prices for Ukrainian products, and as a result of Ukraine recognize the Moldovan certificates.
