Regulatory Updates

Distribution date: 07 February 2014

The Russian Federation notified the letter of the State Sanitary Inspector in G/SPS/N/RUS/35 (as of 11 October 2013). This letter introduced a temporary restriction on import of milk and milk products from Lithuania to the Russian Federation due to detection of incompliance to microbiology, sanitary chemical and organoleptic requirements. Lithuania provided relevant information on securing microbiological requirements, strengthening of production control, elimination of detected labelling deviations. Thus the measure was withdrawn from 30 January 2014, with regard to import of milk and milk products from "Zemaitijos Pienas", Lithuania. At the moment the measure does not apply to milk and milk products from three Lithuanian establishments: "Pieno Zvaigzdes" (from 9 January 2014), "Rokiskio suris" AB (from 20 January 2014) and "Zemaitijos Pienas" (from 30 January 2014).
