Ukraine ratifies Canada-Ukraine free trade deal

The decision has been supported by 272 MPs with a required minimum of 226 votes. The FTA retains certain trade restrictions introduced by both sides.

Canada cancels duties on 98 percent of Ukrainian products, mainly agricultural ones, with the exception of poultry, dairy products, cheeses and eggs that are still subject to quotas. The document cancels duties on industrial products from Ukraine, excluding cars, whose duties are to dwindle to zero within seven years.

Almost 80 percent of imports from Canada will not be subject to duties. Some duties will be phased out over a period of 3-7 years. In particular, this applies to sheep and fowl, beef, lamb, nuts, pork offal, fruit, oilseeds, vegetable oil, fresh pork, poultry, milk, cream, eggs, honey and vegetables.
