Farmers’ protests: why EU wants to increase tariffs on Russian imports but won’t impose sanctions

The increased duties will apply to imports of cereals, oilseeds and related products from Russia and Belarus.

Key Points: 
  • The increased duties will apply to imports of cereals, oilseeds and related products from Russia and Belarus.
  • But they are designed to allow unhindered passage through EU countries.
  • As an EU press release put it: “Importantly, the proposed tariffs will … not affect global food security, particularly for developing countries.
  • On this basis, the EU has decided to introduce restrictions with a view to reducing the access of Russian grain to its internal market.

Fine balance

  • Or put another way, how to address Polish farmers’ protests about EU imports of Ukraine grains, which are hurting the internal EU market.
  • The call was not about how to punish Russia, although it could be argued the two are inextricably linked.
  • To ease tensions with Poland, Ukraine has said it is willing to accept restrictions on its trade with the EU.

Why target Russian grain?

  • As to whether the tariffs will hurt Russia, they will – a little – if they hamper its exports.
  • As for global trade, Russia’s excess supplies are a political and market control mechanism, albeit a questionable one.
  • For the rest of the world, the concern is being able to get enough food to feed their people.
