Michal Kolodziejczak noted that he plans to request the introduction of at least 8% VAT on oil that can be supplied from Ukraine to Poland.

Why should it be a 0% rate, which is intended for Polish producers and Polish consumers, so that production here is profitable?

- Kolodziejczak said.

The deputy minister announced that he would also campaign for restrictions on imports of Ukrainian sugar.

I can assure you that this week I will most likely speak in favor of imposing restrictions on sugar imports to Poland,

- He added.
