Russia Tightens Checks On Ukrainian Alcohol
October 16, 2006
Ukrainian meat was in February the subject of tightened Russian health regulations (ITAR-TASS)
The Russian consumer protection agency Rospotrebnadzor said on October 16 that the checks, which will be conducted on everything from raw materials to Ukrainian production facilities, are intended to ensure that all imports meet Russian health regulations.
Media reports said it would also be harder to obtain export licenses to Russia.
