Over the past 1.5 years the Russian consumer has not received about a million tons of dairy products from the agreed Minsk and Moscow food balances, said the Minister of agriculture and food of Belarus Leonid Zayats in Mogilev on Thursday.

The Rosselkhoznadzor repeatedly imposed and removed restrictions on the supply of certain types of Belarusian food and products of a number of Belarusian enterprises for various reasons, as well as established a regime of enhanced laboratory control.

"Unfortunately, at present there are problems with the sale of Belarusian agricultural products on the Russian market without convincing reasons... For example, for a year and a half, the Russian consumer has not received about one million tons of Belarusian dairy products, based on the balance of demand and supply of food, which were agreed upon (within the Union state - ed.)", - said the Minister, speaking at a meeting of the agricultural section of the forum of regions of Belarus and Russia.

He noted that in order to solve these problems, "the agrarian departments of the two countries are implementing specific measures, but despite the efforts, barriers and restrictions on the access of Belarusian products to the Russian market have not been removed so far". "As a result, the mutual trade turnover of agricultural products and food products is being reduced. The level of provision with essential goods is declining", - said Zayats.

According to him, Minsk believes that "the relevant authorized bodies of the two countries should pay special attention to the issues of free circulation of goods within the Union of the two states, on which the food security of the Union state depends, not create false barriers and resolve problematic issues efficiently".

The Minister said that there should be no restrictions on the promotion of products of the two countries to each other's markets. "There should be no contrived claims to the products. There is veterinary legislation, competent specialists in the departments, accredited laboratories, veterinary and sanitary control. We should rely on this today", he said.
