Following negotiations with a Swiss Ambassador, Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) announced that the service had officially withdrawn allegations against Switzerland over re-exporting food products from banned Western countries to the Russian.
Embassy representatives provided agency officials with documents confirming the legality of their deliveries.
Rosselkhoznadzor’s concerns stemmed from an increase in the amount of supplies shipped by Switzerland. Some shipments had doubled, whereas shipments of apples had increased by as much as 400 times compared to the volumes shipped from Switzerland prior to Russia’s ban.
