MOSCOW, December 30 The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the list of goods, the export and import of which are subject to licensing and quotas for 2024, in particular, zero quotas are set for salt, gas, coal, gold, follows from the decree published on the government portal.
According to the document “on approval of the list of goods, export and import of which is subject to licensing, and quotas for 2024,” zero quotas have been established for the export of salt, natural gas, coal, silver, gold, and fuel wood.
At the same time, quotas were set at 900 thousand tons for coking coals (grade “K”) and 540 thousand tons for fuel oil.
Since mid-June last year, the Government of Ukraine established zero quotas for the export of all types of coal, except for coking coal, and later in early September they decided to ban coking coal used in metallurgy. The decision was made in order to ensure preparation and completion of the heating season. The representative of the Cabinet of Ministers in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnichuk, reported that at a government meeting changes were adopted to the list of goods, the export and import of which will be subject to licensing and quotas for 2022; the Cabinet then allowed the export of 100 thousand tons of coal to Poland.
In April 2022, Poland completely banned the import of coal from Russia, which sharply affected the availability of coal on the market and its price.
