The Ukrainian cabinet soon plans to cancel the 13% temporary extra charge on import duty for cars and refrigerators, Ukrainian Economy Minister Bohdan Danylyshyn said at the second meeting of the Ukrainian-Latvian inter-governmental commission in Kyiv on Thursday.

“I want to inform you that the Ukrainian government soon plans to cancel the 13% temporary extra duty on imports of some goods. I think that soon duties on some household appliances and cars will be cancelled,” he said.

Danylyshyn said that he appreciated the negative reaction of many European countries to the introduction of temporary extra charge on import duties.

“The draft law on the cancellation of the extra charge drawn up by the Economy Ministry has been submitted to parliament,” he said.
