European companies following the introduction of sanctions

Question for written answer E-002556/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Marcin Sypniewski (ESN)

The Brexit adjustment reserve was set up to mitigate the effects of Brexit. The sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus, as well as the easing of certain requirements for products from Ukraine, have had similar - albeit even more serious - effects on many companies and regions. Polish companies have been particularly hard hit as it has meant sealing off a market in which they were often well positioned. In light of the above:

• 1.Has the Commission analysed the impact of sanctions on Member States and specific sectors, or is it planning to do so?
• 2.Has such an analysis been carried out to examine the consequences of facilitating the flow of Ukrainian goods and services, or is one in the pipeline?
• 3.Are there plans to set up a fund similar to the Brexit adjustment reserve to mitigate the effects of sanctions and of opening the market to Ukrainian trade and services?
