Foreign Affairs / EU Importing Cheap Russian Veggies Despite Sanctions by WastedSpyPlane: 6:14pm On Mar 19, 2023
PREV Thread:
Poland Sees Rise In Food Theft
https://www.nairaland.com/7606459/poland-sees-rise-food-theft



Trucks loaded with cucumbers and tomatoes have been spotted in the Polish town of Bronisze, Berliner Zeitung reports

Poland continues to import Russian vegetables despite wide-ranging EU sanctions against Moscow, Berliner Zeitung reported this week.

According to the newspaper, dozens of trucks are constantly arriving at the wholesale market in the Polish town of Bronisze on the outskirts of Warsaw, loaded with Russian cucumbers and tomatoes. The cucumbers are priced at 55 zloty ($12.48) for 5 kilos, which is well below the cost of EU-produced vegetables, the outlet noted.

Vegetables have become increasingly expensive in recent months, with local farmers struggling to meet higher energy costs to power their greenhouses. Official statistics show annual inflation in Poland accelerated in February to 18.4%, the highest since 1996 and one of the highest levels in the EU, with food prices and energy costs rising at the fastest pace. Recent media reports citing police data claim that Poland has registered a 31% growth in shoplifting crimes at food stores since the price spikes.

In principle, Russian food imports are not banned by EU sanctions. According to the European Council, products primarily intended for human consumption are exempt from export and import restrictions. However, many countries have halted their business from Russia and stopped trading with Russian exporters throughout the past year. Also, some of the restrictions have made financial transactions with Russian entities and the transportation of goods from Russia difficult.

However, according to the German outlet, Polish importers are willing to make an effort to obtain cheap Russian products.

Poland is not the only European country currently struggling to keep food shelves in supermarkets filled. British grocery stores have recently started to ration vegetables due to shortages, which prompted Food and Environment Secretary Therese Coffey to suggest that shoppers opt for seasonal, home-grown vegetables like turnips instead of pining for imported tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently suggested that European countries should turn to Russia to tackle food shortages.

“Turnips are a good product, but you will probably have to turn to [Russia] for turnips too, because our crop level still significantly exceeds those of our neighbors in Europe,” he said.

Foreign Affairs / Germans Warned Of Energy Crisis Next Winter by WastedSpyPlane: 2:33pm On Mar 19, 2023
The era of cheap energy from Russia is over, the head of Germany’s utilities regulator has said


Germany has managed to avoid an energy crisis this year, but there is a risk that the next heating season will be more difficult, Klaus Mueller, the head of Germany's Federal Network Agency said in an interview with the Rheinische Post, published on Saturday.

According to Mueller, the country’s gas storage facilities are currently 64% full, and even if it the weather turns cold in the next few weeks, German energy supply for the remainder of the heating season is secured. He warned, however, that “we should not relax, as things could be different next winter.”

“We cannot rule out a gas shortage for next winter. Risk factors are that the winter of 2023/24 will be very cold, that households and companies will save too little, that the LNG terminals will not work as planned – we would also have to help our neighboring countries with their energy problems,” Mueller explained. Germany largely managed to avoid energy shortages due to unseasonably mild weather throughout the past couple of months, but Mueller noted that with respect to the next heating season, the weather poses the biggest risk.

“We cannot rely on the fact that next winter will be mild again. When it's cold, many households immediately stop saving. In warm October they saved more than 20% of gas, while during the cold snap in December – only 7%.”

The official also pointed to another risk factor – the absence of Russia’s energy supplies, which made it possible for the country to fill up storage tanks in preparation for the heating season last year. While the EU did not ban Russia’s pipeline gas imports, their flows dwindled significantly after Ukraine-related sanctions and following the sabotage that disabled the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, one of the main routes for Russian gas to Europe. As a result, Germany no longer receives Russian gas directly, and according to Mueller, energy prices will no longer be as low as they were when it did.

We don't know what will become of Russia's remaining gas supplies… We have to get used to higher prices, the time of cheap energy from Russia is definitely over,” he stated.

Gas prices have been relatively low throughout the winter, helped by lower demand due to mild weather. Wholesale gas prices, which had soared over €300 per megawatt hour late last summer, fell to a level of around €50 in March. While that is far more than what natural gas cost in early 2021, it is “the new normal,” Mueller said, noting that in order to avoid further price spikes, consumers would have to continue efforts to conserve energy.

I never doubted APC victory in Lagos.

Sawoolu should make sure he closes ladipo market for six months,Ibos need to be taught a lesson. They even killed a Yoruba youth in ojota today and almost lynched another bfore police came to his rescue.

They can't try quarter of their over bearing attitude in rivers or delta which are their close neighbors,compare to wat they doing in Lagos,a Yoruba state since 1666.

Mk sawoolu pity dem sha,cos if they're sent packing,many of them will comit suicide cos their lands are unhabitable, ipob terrotists reign supreme there.

They should just go back to the East tbh...they're rabid animals.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has paid a visit to Mariupol, inspecting the city infrastructure and talking to local residents, the Kremlin press service informs.
"In particular, they discussed the construction of new residential microdistricts, social and educational facilities, housing and communal services infrastructure, medical institutions," the Kremlin said on Sunday.
According to the Kremlin, Putin flew to Mariupol by helicopter and then traveled around several city districts by car, making stops to talk to local residents.
"The head of state also inspected the coastline of Mariupol near ​​the yacht club, the theater building, memorable city sites," the Kremlin said.
Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported to the president on the progress of construction and restoration work in the city and its vicinity.

Pictures Of Mariupol Reconstruction
https://www.nairaland.com/7585825/pictures-mariupol-reconstruction#121237325


The Russian leader reportedly toured the second largest city of the Donetsk People’s Republic.


President Vladimir Putin reportedly made an unannounced working trip to Mariupol, the Black Sea port city which was liberated by Russian forces last spring amid the military operation in Ukraine, and joined Russia as part of the Donetsk People’s Republic following a referendum in September.

Putin arrived in Mariupol by helicopter and drove several districts of the city, accompanied by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, multiple Russian news agencies reported on Sunday morning, citing the president’s press service.

The president inspected the progress of the reconstruction and restoration efforts, including “new residential districts, social and educational facilities, housing and communal services infrastructure, medical institutions.” He also allegedly toured the “coastline in the area of the yacht club, the theater building,” as well as other “memorable places” of the city.

It was unclear when the trip took place, and the Kremlin has yet to share photos and videos of what would be Putin's first trip to Russia's new region. On Saturday, the head of state was Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of the peninsula’s reunification with Russia.

The city of Mariupol was liberated by Russian forces last spring amid the military operation in Ukraine. It has become one of the symbols of Russia's military campaign, and victory there has arguably been the main triumph, so far.

In September, the Donetsk People’s Republics, which incorporates Mariupol, along with Lugansk People’s Republic and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, officially became part of the Russian Federation after holding public referendums.
