Russia intensifies control over 8 Belorussian meat, milk makers

MOSCOW, Jun 9 (PRIME) -- The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Oversight has intensified laboratory control over eight Belorussian meat and milk producers due to inconsistency with Russia’s and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)’s norms and requirements, the authority said on its Web site on Friday.

On June 2, the regulator imposed an enhanced control regime over another five Belarus-based food companies.

Earlier, Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachyov said the authority agreed to lift ban on meat and milk supplies from several Belarusian enterprises.
