Russia will lift ban on raw vegetables from the European Union countries starting on Tuesday, August 9th, reported Russian news agencies on Monday.
Russia banned imports of raw vegetables from the European Union on June 2 due to a deadly E.coli outbreak. Moscow later agreed to drop the ban provided it received safety guarantees and has since allowed imports from some EU countries.
The EU, which exported about 600 million euros ($850 million) worth of vegetables to Russia last year, had said the blanket ban was not scientifically justified.
