01:00close to 100 percent by 2028 in addition 50 percent tariffs will be imposed on agri food products from

01:07both countries such as meat dairy fruit and vegetables european fertilizer producers are

01:14happy to have a bigger market share however farmers are worried that the prices of these products

01:20will increase since russia is a major global producer and sells them at cheaper prices let's

01:27hear what some europeans think about this issue

01:57no não consegue colocar fertilizantes que é por parte dos europeus precisam dos fertilizantes

02:03eu não tenho experiência para usar uma compensação porque quem não pode ser não podem ser os agricultores

02:09e o consumidor final a ficar com esse encargo euro news reporter gerardo fortuna will help us understand

02:16the impacts of these measures the u.s imposed barriers on imports of russian goods since the full-scale

02:23invasion of ukraine three years ago why now the focus on fertilizers there's a strong moral and

02:30strategical rationale russia imposes 23.5 percent export tax on fertilizers which means that by

02:42buying these products the eu is indirectly financing the war in ukraine and of course by imposing tariffs

02:50now the main goal is to make unattractive for russians to export these products but also to european

02:57farmers to buy these products european fertilizer sector welcome the move saying that they have been

03:04badly hit since the war what is at stake for the domestic sector in terms of producing fertilizers

03:12the european fertilizer manufacturers have deeply concerned about the russian imports because of course

03:19they're cheaper particularly the nitrogen based one and despite the war there's been an increase of

03:26imports from russia there's also an environmental aspect because the production of fertilizers

03:33has roughly half of the carbon intensity of the russian manufacturing of fertilizer so by importing

03:40this fertilizer from russia we also drive emission up on the other hand farmers are worried

03:46uh why are they so worried and can the european commission assume some mitigation measures for

03:52them you have to balance the geostrategical interest with the real uh things that farmers are suffering

04:00of course by imposing tariffs you distort the market and you eventually drive prices up there are some

04:06mitigation measures uh at the moment they're not considered good enough by european farmers to cope with the

04:14increase the expected increase the expected increase of prices the most likely scenario is that actually

04:20farmers will be squeezed by the increase in production costs and the impossibility to raise the final price for

04:28consumers europe remains highly import dependent for nitrogen fertilizers imports accounts for 32

04:36percent of demand to reduce the risk of price spikes the eu could reduce tariffs on other fertilizer

04:42suppliers such as the u.s and countries in north africa and central asia finally the tariffs will not affect

04:48the transit of fertilizers and agri-food exports from russia and belarus to third countries in order to avoid

04:55disruption of supplies especially to developing countries our guest is m.p enese vaedere from center

05:02right epp group and rapporteur on this regulation will the eu fertilizers producers have enough time to

05:10ramp up their production in order to meet demand and to avoid a price spike of these products

05:19you know our fertilizers producers in european union already now have lost a lot of their plants

05:27they stopped their activities due to these cheap imports from russia and now as we calculated there's at

05:35least three million tons spare capacity over the eight million tons which is has been exported to

05:43another countries if something happens we can also turn to another mitigation sources for example to lift

05:53some export import duties from another countries farmers fear rising food prices in terms of their own

06:02production so can this be avoided or offset somehow commission is obliged to monitor every month prices

06:11because prices this is also our interest you me you are paying for agricultural products and if the

06:18prices rises we will be paying more so the commission is obliged to monitor every month and to do

06:26something if this price increase will be dramatic this could be subsidies or would be subsidies from the

06:34beginning of the war already if i am not mistaken some 500 billion or euros have been spent already to help

06:46the farmers commission knows what to do the u.s recently decided to cut all russian fuel imports by 2028

06:56should the u think about other ways in order to choke russia's economy you know in my eyes

07:04we have to do much more and i'm enthusiastic and i provided also the plan for european commission how to

07:13confiscate the sources of russian assets which are mostly in belgium's bank now we can use for ukraine

07:22only profit from these assets but confiscation of these assets could help ukraine more wonderful

07:27thank you very much madam gas is an essential ingredient for fertilizer production so the u is

07:34indirectly targeting this russian asset as well however russian is the world's largest producer of

07:41fertilizers with its main markets being brazil india the u.s china and indonesia even so for the eu these

07:50are not only economic imperatives but also ethical ones given the war in ukraine
