Quote: "Today, Ukrainian grain does not enter the Polish market. Our government has implemented a procedure for verifying four crops: corn, rapeseed, sunflower, and wheat. Without a licence, these categories cannot be exported. We now have such documents, and such permits are not issued. We will issue them only with agreement from the Polish government," Shmyhal said.
