The European Union regrets that Russia imposed a food embargo on Western food products and is asking third countries not to replace European food on the Russian market, the EU Council said Friday in a final communique following an extraordinary foreign ministerial meeting on Ukraine.
The statement said the move is designed to ensure unity of the international community and compliance with international law. The EU, it said, hopes third countries and countries applicants for EU membership will abstain from measures aimed at using new trade opportunities due to the current situation.
In response to new Western sectoral sanctions against Russia, Moscow imposed on August 6 a one-year ban on imports of beef, pork, poultry, fish, cheeses, fruit, vegetables and dairy products from Australia, Canada, the EU, the United States and Norway.
The banned products list includes cattle meat (fresh, chilled and refrigerated), pork (fresh, chilled and refrigerated), poultry meat and all poultry edible by-products, salted meat, pickled meat, dried meat, smoked meat, fish, clams and other water invertebrates, milk and dairy products, vegetables, edible roots and tuber crops.
