Recall
In March, the EU Permanent Representatives approved the extension of the so-called autonomous trade measures (trade visa-free regime) for Ukraine for the next year.
Immediately after the outbreak of Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, the EU introduced autonomous trade measures in June 2022, allowing duty-free access for all Ukrainian goods to the EU market. These measures were extended for one year in June 2023 and expire on June 5, 2024.
