ArmInfo. Armenia's food safety inspection body has released the initial results of joint inspections conducted with the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Russian Federation (Rosselkhoznadzor) from May 21 to 27.
According to the press service of the Armenian inspection body, following inspections at four Armenian fish farms, products from two Armenian organizations, MF Export LLC and Invest Plus LLC, have been cleared for import into the Russian Federation.
"The results of inspections of two other companies, as well as eight plant growing facilities, are being processed," the inspection body added. On May 15, Sergei Dankvert, head of Rosselkhoznadzor, held talks with Tigran Petrosyan, head of the Armenian Food Safety Inspectorate. The parties discussed cooperation between the two countries' competent authorities and compliance with requirements for the supply of Armenian plant and livestock products to the Russian market. At the request of the Armenian side, Rosselkhoznadzor inspected facilities whose shipments to Russia had been suspended due to suspected imports of counterfeit fish products, presumably of European origin.
