The joint control on the border of the EAEU will solve the "dairy problem" between Russia and Belarus – the Rosselkhoznadzor

The Rosselkhoznadzor believes that the problem related to the export of milk from Belarus to Russia under false veterinary certificates or counterfeit products can be solved by joint control of imported products at the external border of the EAEU.
"We have repeatedly offered our Belarusian colleagues to put our experts on the external borders of the EAEU, to help if they cannot distinguish a genuine certificate from a fake one. But they do not go for it so far. Therefore, the problems remain", - said the official representative of the Rosselkhoznadzor to journalists on Tuesday in Moscow.

"This problem (of the supply of products under fake documents of third countries - Interfax) can be eliminated only in one way - if the Belarusian colleagues make such a decision", he stressed.

Currently, the "incoming control" of products coming to the EAEU is carried out on the external border of the Union by Belarusian specialists. For additional control the Rosselkhoznadzor organized several checkpoints on the border of Russia and Belarus.

In addition, the Rosselkhoznadzor has claims to the quality of products produced in Belarus. This was the reason for the introduction of a ban on the supply of Belarusian dairy products in containers of more than 2.5 liters since June 6. Answering the question how this measure will affect the Russian dairy enterprises, the representative of the Department said that the Russian Federation needs to solve internal problems, there are a lot of them in the dairy industry. "We need to restore the number of productive animals and, of course, to ensure own real food independence", he said.

At the same time, he did not predict the level of influence of this decision on the Belarusian dairy industry, noting only that Belarus is actively looking for new markets for its products, "including China".

As for the previously announced plans to create a single dairy market between Russia and Belarus and a single company for the supply of Belarusian milk powder to the Russian market, according to him, "this issue remains at the level of the idea so far."
