(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, MAR 20 - EU member states and
lawmakers on Wednesday reached a deal to cap duty-free imports
of some Ukrainian grains, which were allowed in the wake of
Russia's invasion but have drawn fierce protests from farmers in
the bloc. The agreement renews for one year the tariff exemption
granted in 2022, but adds oats -- as well as eggs, poultry and
sugar -- to the list of products with import "safeguards"
preventing cheap imports from flooding the market.
