On the measures of Rosselkhoznadzor in relation to the establishments exporting products of animal origin, which have not been exporting to Russia for a long time
February 3, 2017
Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service analyzed shipments to the Russian Federation of the controlled veterinary goods from the establishments listed in the Register of organizations and persons that conduct production, processing, and (or) storage of the controlled goods exported to the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
According to the results of this work, it was revealed that some of the establishments included in the Register did not conduct shipments to the Russian Federation during a long time or have not exported their products at all.
For this reason, the Rosselkhoznadzor had not been able to carry out border veterinary control and laboratory monitoring of products of such establishments. In addition, the Russian agency (Rosselkhoznadzor) has no information on the results of third-country supervisory measures in respect of these establishments and their products, including laboratory studies that, in turn, makes it impossible to assess the risks.
It is worth to note that the majority of establishments listed in the mentioned Register were included to the Register on the base of the guarantees of the competent authorities of the countries that implied compliance of these establishments with all veterinary and sanitary requirements of the Russian Federation.
Therefore, the status of “Suspended due to lack of export” will be entered in theRegister of enterprises of third countries in relation with the absence of shipments of controlled goods (products) to the territory of the Russian Federation within 18-36 months. Exports to the Russian Federation can be resumed as a result of inspections of the establishment by the competent body in the field of veterinary supervision of the third country and the analysis of the submitted inspection report by Rosselkhoznadzor.
In addition, the companies that did not conduct shipments of the products of animal origin to Russia during three and more years will be excluded from theRegister of enterprises of third countries.
These measures will be implemented by the Service within the next week.
