Egypt signed a partnership agreement with the EU. Tariff levels between Egypt and the EU were significantly reduced, and the trade agreement entered the implementation stage in 2004. Currently, Egyptian industrial products enter the EU market with zero tariff and no quota restrictions. In 2008, Egyptian agricultural products entered the EU under quota restrictions, and the extra-quota tariff rate was 60%. Other agricultural products were tax-free within the quota, and the extra-quota tariff was 100%. On October 28, 2009, Egypt and the European Union signed an agricultural products trade agreement in Brussels, and 90% of Egypt's agricultural products entered the EU duty-free. Poland belongs to the EU, so it needs tariffs
