Poland is targeting companies importing Russian fertilisers, in a bid to prevent the European Union from developing another dependency on Moscow for a key resource.
The country's tax authority has so far identified and penalised companies responsible for 70% of imports of Belarusian urea, a widely-used fertiliser, Deputy Finance Minister Zbigniew Stawicki said. But despite close scrutiny, banning imports from Russia is more complicated, he added.
