Ukraine is going to increase its 2013 quota for imports of metallurgical coke up to 300,000 mt from the current 210,000 mt, and also increase the 2013 quota for coking coal by 1 million mt, the press service of Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov announced on Thursday, October 31.

"Thus, Ukraine will fulfill the requirements of the European Union and the World Trade Organization to lift trade restrictions on these commodities," the press service quoted Arbuzov as saying.

First Deputy Prime Minister Arbuzov remarked that the problem of imported coke was one of the so-called trade irritants in relations between Ukraine and the EU and was raised during the recent meeting in Brussels between Arbuzov and Karel De Gucht, the European commissioner for trade.

Previously, the introduction by Ukraine of restrictions on the supply of coke and coking coal was considered at a special meeting of the WTO on market constraints.
