- Slovakia has tabled a proposal that would restrict agricultural commodities exports in light of the war in Ukraine, a move the European Commission has condemned, warning any bans of this nature could destabilise markets and lead to price increases.
- This would mean all planned exports of food commodities with a volume of over 400 tonnes would have to be reported by the exporter to the Slovak state authorities.
- The proposal was also met with approval by Slovakia’s Minister of Agriculture, Samuel Vlčan.
