This is amendment No. 40 to bill No. 13134. One of the authors of the amendment is the deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, Dmytro Kysilevsky. He noted that the peak of rapeseed exports falls in August – early July.
Kysilevsky emphasized that if the bill is not adopted now, its effect will diminish. The deputy head of the committee stressed that it is fundamentally wrong to pit small and medium-sized farmers and processors against each other.
According to him, the appearance of processing benefits small and medium-sized farmers the most, as they will be able to sell for processing or export their products. The author of the amendment reminded that the EU is dissatisfied with the level of Ukrainian raw material exports to individual countries.
Kysilevsky believes that EU countries earn twice on Ukraine – on duties and on processing raw materials. The author believes that his initiative allows Ukraine to introduce duties not for producers, but purely for traders, in order to transfer funds to the budget.
The head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, said that the “soy amendment” contradicts the rules of the free market.
