Sergei Dankvert, a senior official in the Russian federal health authorities, the Interfax news service said yesterday that companies from Hungary, Cyprus and Greece again may deliver a handful of food after the end of the import ban after Russia.
The ban on EU imports officially ends on August 7, a year after its imposition. Until the other countries from the EU or America may deliver again, it was still a long way off, Dankvert. There will not be an automatism. Hungary, Cyprus and Greece have not expressed about the Russian annexation of Crimea. Brussels has so far always torpedoed national solo efforts in the negotiations with Russia.
Vladimir Putin sees the import ban as a chance for local agriculture, which was equipped with more funding. He hopes for a better supply of food. Some 6,000 European companies had delivered before the ban after Russia food. The deliveries were replaced by suppliers from Latin America, Africa and Asia.
