Ukraine may exclude meat products from free trade regime with Belarus and Moldova - farm minister

Ukraine can exclude the ready meat products from the free trade regime with Belarus and Moldova, Ukraine's Agrarian Policy Minister Olexendr Baranivsky said to a news conference Tuesday.

"We have a free trade regime in effect with these two countries, and we can exclude certain commodities from it," he said.

He explained that the cause of the exception might be that the products originated from other countries are coming to Ukraine under disguise of being produced in Belarus and Moldova.
