Belarus hopes to settle problem of milk supplies to RF within week

MINSK, June 15 (Itar-Tass) -- The Belarussian Agriculture Ministry hopes to settle the problem of banned supplies of Belarussian milk and dairy products on the Russian market within a week. "I think that the problem will be settled within a week. The country's authorities gave instructions to bring all samples of dairy products in the laboratories of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumers Protection and Welfare within two days," adviser of the Agriculture Ministry Kazimir Romanovsky said live on the Belarussian television on Sunday.

According to him, Belarussian milk processing plants focused on the milk processing for making cheese, powdered milk that can be stored for a long time.

On June 6, Russia has imposed a ban on the supplies of about 600 types of milk and dairy products from Belarus, as Belarussian producers had violated the new Russian technical regulations on milk and dairy products.

After that Russia has withdrawn sanitary-epidemiological certificates for another 600 types of dairy products from Belarus, as the unlicensed laboratories had issued the documentation.
