[EU-Ukraine Trade Upgrade Agreement Officially Takes Effect] On October 29, local time, the European Commission issued a statement announcing that the upgraded EU-Ukraine Deep Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) officially came into effect on the 29th. The upgraded agreement restricts EU imports of sensitive agricultural products, incorporates strong new safeguard provisions, and stipulates the harmonization of production standards between Ukraine and the EU. On October 13, the European Council announced that it had voted to reduce or eliminate tariffs on Ukrainian dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, and other agricultural products within the EU-Ukraine Joint Commission. This resolution stems from the preliminary agreement reached on June 30, 2025, regarding the review of the EU-Ukraine Deep Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, aiming to build a long-term mutually beneficial trade framework.
