The president states that he is disappointed with the ongoing position of Russian authorities which are limiting Belarusian products in the market in the Russian Federation.
"I’m not only surprised but also dissatisfied with the Russian authorities’ line. If in the nearest future the trade is not stabilized we will have to react. What kind of behavior is this?!" stated Lukashenka at the meeting with the governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko on Thursday in Minsk, reports “Interfax”.
It should be reminded that Russia has banned almost all imported meat from Belarus.
Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance offers challenges on non-compliance of the Belarusian products with food safety standards and with Russia and Trade Union’s law. According to the service, the Belarusian meat contains harmful bacteria and antibiotics. Beginning Wednesday, the products of OAO “Skidzel agricultural complex”, OAO “Vitsebsk broiler plant”, SZAO “Servoluks Agro”, OAO “Kalinkavichy meat cutting plant”, OAO “Rogachev milk canning plant” and OAO “Poultry farm “Rassvet” are not imported in the Russian Federation.
