Russia has expanded restrictions on the supply of fish products from Armenia, temporarily suspending the certification of products from two more Armenian enterprises until the previously detected violations are eliminated, TASS was told by the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor).
Thus, all supplies of fish products from Armenia to Russia have been suspended. The Rosselkhoznadzor recalled that earlier, as a result of systemic violations, it had asked the Armenian side to temporarily suspend the certification of all fish products, with the exception of the enterprises that directly participated in the inspection—MF Export LLC and Invest Plus LLC. And an enhanced laboratory control was established for the aforementioned enterprises.
“Later, during the analysis of the materials, a preliminary report was prepared, and until the detected violations are eliminated and the necessary confirming materials are submitted, a decision was made to temporarily suspend the certification of the products of the noted enterprises,” Rosselkhoznadzor reported.
It was emphasized here that Rosselkhoznadzor is working with the Armenian side to ensure the safety of Armenian fish and fish products intended for supply to the Russian market.
