ROME (ITALPRESS) – “A foregone and inevitable act on the part of the European Union, in the face of the brutal repressions following the coup d’état in Myanmar. The trade concessions of the Union are aimed at favoring the development of less advanced countries and cannot benefit those who do not respect fundamental civil rights “. The president of Confagricoltura, Massimiliano Giansanti, comments on the new restrictive measures launched today by the Council of Foreign Affairs Ministers of the European Union and which the Confederation had already requested in recent weeks. The agreement reached today by the Council also concerns the limitation of the activity of the “Myanmar Economic Corporation”, on which most of the exports of locally produced rice depend. The Entity is run by the Myanmar army. Thanks to the concessions of the EU, based on the abolition of customs duties, imports of Japonica rice on the Union market – notes Confagricoltura – increased from 31,500 to 158,700 tons in the period 2018-2020.
