The European Commission suspended on the 10 September 2014 the emergency market measures for perishable fruit and vegetable markets (worth 125 million €) announced on the 18 August 2014 in the wake of the Russian measures banning imports of certain EU agricultural products. There has been strong interest from the sectors concerned, but the scheme had to be closed due to a disproportionate surge in claims. In order to prolong the effectiveness of the emergency measures and still achieve the objective of stabilising the markets for these products in all Member States affected by the Russian embargo, the European Commission will come forward with a more targeted scheme in the near future, taking into account the experience of the past weeks. |
