Shortly with the Russian counters may disappear fruit from the EU countries. The formal reason for the prohibition of imports are frequent cases of supply of apples and peaches with dangerous quarantine pest - Oriental moth. Also, the Rosselkhoznadzor may impose restrictions on imports of poultry meat from the USA due to the outbreak of salmonellosis.
As have informed the newspaper "Kommersant", the member of the Council on agro-industrial complex with the Chairman of the Federation Council Vasily Krylov, a question about the restriction of the supply of fruit from the EU is more political.
"We will not suffer from what will be reduced supply of fruit. The question is the price. They can climb because of foreign deliveries, of course, reduced rates".
Earlier the assistant to the head of the Rosselkhoznadzor Alexei Alekseenko said that Russia is ready to restrict the import of fruits from the European Union. Rosselkhoznadzor may ban imports, primarily from Poland, Moldova and the Netherlands, this will occur in 1-2 weeks. The office explained the necessity of limiting supply contamination of fruits, in particular, such a pest as Oriental moth.
However, according to C. Krylova, moth lives in Russia: "This is too common pest. The importation of large amounts of fruit will have no significant effect, but it is desirable that they were not infected.
Also on Monday, the Rosselkhoznadzor banned the import to Russia in hand Luggage, baggage and mail Ukrainian plant products, and today Rospotrebnadzor has suspended deliveries of fruit-and-vegetable and canned fish from Ukraine.
