The protective tariffs would range from EUR169.90 (US$230.70) to EUR204.50 a tonne and would cover cooked, uncooked and frozen tomatoes, with or without added sugar or other sweeteners.
The decision will cheer major EU frozen strawberry producers – mainly in Poland – who have faced a 380% increase in Chinese exports into the EU, and a 38% price drop.
Ministers dismissed concerns that EU processors of strawberries could be hit by a duty-linked price increase concluding “increased prices are not expected to be substantial”.
