The Russian phytosanitary service is reconsidering the boycott of Moldovan cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines and apricots. The reports were confirmed by the National Agency for Food Safety in Moldova. The export could be resumed when Russian inspections have visited the Eastern European country.
Together with Belarusian colleagues, the Russian phytosanitary service is visiting companies in Lithuania. The inspections are necessary to be allowed to export to Russia. The companies involved work with animal products. For now, the boycott applies to Lithuania as it also applies to the EU. Last month, Russia inspected various companies in Hungary, Greece and Cyprus. During the inspections, it’s checked whether the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Russian criteria are adhered to.
