Russia Decides Not To Ban Belarusian Dairy Products

Russia has no intention to fully suspend shipment of dairy products from Belarus.

Russia’s Minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachyov has informed this to the journalists.

“I think the Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service of Russia overreacted a bit. The issue is not put like this. We pointed out the shortcomings at some separate enterprises, this does not concern the whole scope of milk altogether. On the whole, the flow of milk and dairy products is coming to Russia from Belarus and no one is going to stop it,” — the Minister has said.

“We have the milk production deficit in Russia, and it would have been rather tough without Belarus,” — he has noted.

Tkachyov has underlined that if they do impose limitations upon some Belarusian dairy factories, they will be immediately lifted from them upon elimination of flaws.

Earlier on Wednesday, it was informed that the Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service of Russia might impose limitations regarding shipment of dairy products from either all of Belarus, or from separate enterprises in case of repeated detection of goods of inappropriate quality and safety. This was stated in the relevant agency’s message upon the results of the telephone negotiations between Head of the Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service of Russia Sergey Dankvert and Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Belarus Aliaksandr Subotsin. Dankvert, in particular, pointed out concrete facts of shipment of the dry dairy production which did not meet the corresponding technical requirements of the Customs Union, by the Belarusian side.

The Russian side also underlined the necessity that Belarus should apply urgent measures to prevent the production of inappropriate quality and safety from being imported to Russia.

The Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service of Russia reminded that in 2016, over 304 thousand tons of dairy products of the Belarusian origin had been shipped to the territory of Russia, including over 56 thousand tons of dry dairy production.
