Ukraine sues EU neighbours over food imports ban | BBC News | In a statement on Monday, Ukraine's Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said that "it is crucially important for us to prove that individual member states cannot ban imports of Ukrainian goods. "That is why we are filing lawsuits against them [Slovakia, Poland and Hungary] to the WTO." Ms Svyrydenko added that Ukrainian exporters had "already suffered and are continuing to suffer significant losses" because of the unilateral bans. Poland said it would keep its ban regardless. "We maintain our position, we think it is correct, it results from an economic analysis and powers derived from EU and international law," said government spokesman Piotr Mueller. "A complaint before the WTO doesn't impress us."
