Hungary on April 20 called for "progressive" aid from the EU to help move Ukraine's grain through Central European countries whose farmers are having to compete with its cheaper imports. Agriculture Minister Istvan Nagy met his Ukrainian counterpart after Hungary banned imports of honey and certain meat products from Ukraine, in addition to grains, until June 30, adding to pressure to broaden proposed EU-wide measures. Nagy did not say what was meant by "progressive" in terms of what aid Hungary considered was required from the EU. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
