In the halls of the European Parliament, during an event organized by us together with Members of the European Parliament and our strategic partners — the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) — we presented and discussed the Ukrainian industrial agenda and the first coordinated vision of economic integration, formed by representatives of Ukrainian business.

The EU's introduction of autonomous trade preferences for Ukraine in 2022 provided significant support to Ukraine's agricultural sector. Together with the EU's economic and military assistance, this was an important step in the gradual economic recovery and job preservation in the wartime. The share of agricultural products in Ukraine's exports remains significant and any increase in trade barriers will have a negative impact on macroeconomic stability and employment in Ukraine. 

The Federation of Employers of Ukraine (FEU) is actively advocating for the full unblocking of ports and the restoration of free navigation in the Black Sea. Recently, FEU sent corresponding letters of appeal to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President of the European Commission, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, the Ministers of Trade and the Ministers of Defense of the USA, the United Kingdom, Turkey, as well as ambassadors from respective countries and the European Union.
