Poland to demand EU sanctions if Russia expands trade ban - PM Kaczynski

The Polish government will demand European Union sanctions against Russia should Russia impose new tariffs on goods imported from Poland, Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski told a press conference Tuesday.

"If Russia expands the trade ban, Poland will not drop the veto [of EU-Russian partnership negotiations] and will demand European Union sanctions against Russia," Kaczynski said.

The Russian daily Kommersant reported Tuesday that Moscow has decided to impose tariffs that would cut the value of Polish exports to Russia, currently valued at more than USD 4 bln, by nearly half in response to Poland's continued veto of the new partnership agreement negotiations between Russia and the EU.
