He said a more specific date will be determined following consultations with his colleagues in the Customs Union. "The decision to ban imports of this company's products was coordinated, our colleagues from Kazakhstan and Belarus supported the decision to inspect New Zealand suppliers for compliance with the veterinary and sanitary requirements of the Customs Union," Dankvert said.


He also said that his agency has received a letter from New Zealand's embassy in Moscow requesting a meeting to discuss the situation. The head of New Zealand's Food Safety Authority, Tony Zohrab has said he is prepared to come to Moscow to attend such a meeting. A decision on the meeting has not been made yet.
