Most of the 13 Moldovan wine businesses that were recently inspected by experts of Rospotrebnadzor will be able to resume the export to Russia after the results of lab tests are made known and the submitted documents are finally assessed, the chief of Russia’s food safety watchdog Anna Popova stated for Ria Novosti.
Contacted by IPN, Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Eduard Grama said there is now no official information from the Russian authorities about the companies that could export to Russia and when. The Moldovan side is waiting for the final appraisals.
On February 14, a team of experts of Rospotrebnadzor came to Moldova to collect facts about the actions taken by the competent authorities to ensure the quality and safety of wine products. The Russian experts visited a number of companies that already export alcoholic beverages to Russia or intend to do so in the future.
