tradeRussian consumer watchdog suspends sweet imports from Ukraine
Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) has banned the import of all confectionaries from Ukraine, the watchdog said on its website Friday.
"In order to guarantee the rights of consumers, Rospotrebnadzor is suspending the import of Ukrainian confectionaries to Russia starting September 5, 2014," Interfax-Ukraine reported the informaition form the website.
This move stems from a number of violations Rospotrebnadzor uncovered.
"The corresponding information has been sent to the governing body in line with WTO rules," the agency said, adding that this concerns the Federal Customs Service and Rospotrebnadzor's division for Russian federal subjects.
The consumer watchdog added that over the course of government supervision over the circulation of confectionaries from Ukrainian companies Konti and AVK, Rospotrebnadzor uncovered legal violations related to consumer rights protection, specifically as concerns product labeling.
