Russia bans import of Ukrainian juice
Print Edition
RUSSIA’S consumer protection watchdog said yesterday it had stopped imports of Ukrainian juice, Moscow’s latest trade ban announced following new Western sanctions over Ukraine.
A day after banning imports of fruit and vegetables from Poland in what Warsaw said was retaliation for the sanctions, Russia’s Rospotrebnadzor said imports of Ukrainian juice had been suspended on July 29 “to protect the rights of consumers.”
“Ukrainian juice products had not undergone state registration for compliance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union,” it said, referring to the trade union of several former Soviet states that Russian President Vladimir Putin had hoped Ukraine would one day join.
Russia may also impose new food import restrictions next week, reports said yesterday.
Russia’s Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service may restrict fruit imports from Greece next week, RIA news agency reported. VPSS may also suspend US poultry imports next week, Interfax agency said.
