EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes

Expert Hearing
Brussels
Belgium

The new 'EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes' aim to facilitate the shipment of agricultural products from Ukraine, Ukraine's access to international markets and global supply chains, thereby ensuring that much-needed cereals reach the world market. In the longer term, they should also boost our bilateral trade in goods. In the framework of its work on the EESC opinion on the European Commission action plan for EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes to facilitate Ukraine´s agricultural export and bilateral trade with the EU, the TEN Section will bring together prominent guests from the civil society of the EU and Ukraine, to learn first-hand about the situation on the ground and the difficulties that stand in the way and thus offer a valuable contribution to the Commission's efforts.
