home/actions/themes/eu-ukraine-dcfta-trq-cycle EU-Ukraine DCFTA tariff-rate-quota liberalisation/reinstatement cycle
The on-again/off-again EU market-access regime for Ukrainian agricultural exports under the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement/DCFTA. From 2022, successive Autonomous Trade Measures (ATM) regulations suspended the ~40 DCFTA tariff-rate quotas (cereals, poultry/eggs, sugar, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.) to give Ukraine unlimited duty-free EU access as a wartime-solidarity measure; each ATM renewal has been contested by EU farm lobbies (Poland, France) over import-volume surges, and lapses trigger automatic reversion to the original quota-capped DCFTA terms. Distinct from eu-gsp-safeguard-suspensions (a single-product Article 30 GSP injury-safeguard mechanism applied to any GSP/GSP+ beneficiary) and from western-russia-sanctions (which targets Russia/Belarus, not Ukraine): this theme tracks the bilateral EU-Ukraine liberalisation/reinstatement toggle specifically.

Method: Vector L = 0.5·hit-rate + 0.15·min(triggers,5)/5 + 0.20·baseSev/5 + 0.15·sector-Jaccard. Hit-rate is the fraction of theme triggers (X→Y) where the original target Y subsequently issued a register-tracked action that names the trigger in its responds_to: field. Sector-Jaccard measures continuity between trigger and response target_sectors — high values mean prior responses stayed in the same sector lane, suggesting the next riposte will too. This is a backward-looking pattern projected forward; it is not a probabilistic forecast.
