Core Tip: Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Rosselkhoznadzor announced on Wednesday that more than 19 tons of fresh plums originating from Moldova have been banned from entering Russia.
Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Rosselkhoznadzor announced on Wednesday that more than 19 tons of fresh plums originating from Moldova have been banned from entering Russia. The entire amount of fruits has been returned to the exporter on September 24, Rosselkhoznadzor said.

According to the Service, there have been allegedly identified “dangerous insects” (Grapholitha molesta Busck) in the Moldovan plums.

The same institution announced on Tuesday that up to 130 tons of grapes originating from Moldova and Turkey have been rejected amidst high levels of pesticides and nitrates.

Experts see this move as a way to punish the Eastern European country for its strong commitment toward the European Union in the process of aligning its legislation to the EU standards.

Moldova seeks to initial an Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013. Once the Agreement is ratified and signed, Moldova will be able to freely export any products to the European market.
