Rumas displeased by Russians’ slowness

The complete resumption of supplies of Belarusian products subject to Russia's import ban is delayed by Russian state agencies.

This statement has been made by Syarhei Rumas, Chairman of the CIS Economic Council, member of the Presidium of the Council of Ministers, in Moscow today following the session of the CIS Economic Council, BelTA informs.

The official stressed that First Vice Premier of Russia Igor Shuvalov had given instructions to lift the restrictions on the import of Belarusian products. Several Belarusian companies have already been removed from the import ban list; the decisions on some others are still pending. According to the Chairman of the CIS Economic Council, the final decision on the matter is to be made on 15 December.

This situation is already having its negative impact on the Belarusian meat processing companies, Syarhei Rumas emphasized. The companies that produce perishable products were hit the hardest. Belarus is doing its best to lift the import ban. The country is dissatisfied that Russia is too slow to lift the restrictions.

Syarhei Rumas informed that upon Belarus' initiative, the vice premiers of the CIS member states discussed food safety control in individual CIS member states at a narrow format meeting of the CIS Economic Council. The participants of the meeting also discussed the non-proliferation of unilateral measures affecting foreign trade in goods that are moved in transit in line with the customs procedures.
