The Embassy of Austria in Ukraine has supported the decision of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko to veto the law on the ban on fire wood export, noting that Ukraine should comply with its international obligations.
“President Poroshenko’s veto of introduction of export ban on fire wood is important step to fulfill Ukrainian international obligations. Protecting forests, fighting illegal logging are shared goals, [but] export bans are not useful,” the Austrian Embassy in Ukraine posted on Twitter.
