Ukraine has told its trading partners it wants to raise tariffs on hundreds of imported goods, a move that could unleash protectionist forces and may even pose a threat to the €14 trillion global trade system. EU sources told EurActiv that this could raise “systemic questions” over the country’s relations with the Union.
In a document marked “secret” that was
sent to members of the World Trade Organization last week and seen by
Reuters, Ukraine says it intends to raise the limit on the tariffs it
can legally impose on more than 350 goods.
