Post-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-13
============================================================

Brendan Howlin (LAB), Wexford

The Minister of State made a big effort to explain to us that the action plan on solidarity lanes will offer an alternative; in fact, it will not. The Commission explained to us that, at best, it will get half the volume of grain out of Ukraine, that is, 2.5 million tonnes per month as opposed to 5 million tonnes, and at much greater cost. How likely is the opening of the ports by way of the Turkish initiative?
