Mashensky hopes to avoid sanctions

The oligarch refers to the fact that his scope is not related to state supplies.

Both "Santa Bremor", and "Savushkin product" sell food to the population, 90% of it through the private system of implementation.

"Any strike or sanctions, targeted on those companies, will hit their employees, and those who are associated with them as a part of that chain", - said Mashensky in his interview to "Evening Brest."

On June 18th Standing Committee of the European Union on the Food Chain and Animal Health authorized the supply of raw milk and dairy products from Belarus to the EU market for four Belarusian companies, reminds BelaPAN.

"Since July 1, 2012, export licenses are granted to "cheese-making plant of Verkhnedvinsk", "Santa Bremor", "Berezovsky cheese-making plant", and "Savushkin product".

Three of the four companies, who have admission to the EU dairy market, are related to the oligarch Aliaksandr Mashensky: "Santa Bremor" and "Savushkin product" are the main assets of Moshensky; his interest is also represented at the Berezovsky cheese-making plant.

As the website charter97.org reported, a couple of weeks ago Moshensky could appear in the black list of the EU. Brussels news website EUobserver named the Brest businessman among those who can fall under sanctions, because Moshensky "played an important role in the campaign of Aliaksandr Lukashenka in the presidential elections in 2010 and became the third most powerful oligarch, after Vladimir Peftiev and Yuri Chizh". In 2010 the businessman was one of the trustees of the presidential candidate Aliaksandr Lukashenka.
