PM Kopacz comments on Medvedev's allegations

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said that “Polish farmers comply with EU legislation when it comes to fruit exports" in a response to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's claims that Polish apples exported to Russia are treated with chemicals. He also said that Russian apples are of a better quality. "They have a completely different taste. The Poles spray twice as many chemicals on them as we do,” Medvedev said on a visit to a farm in the Krasnodar region of Russia.“I don’t really want to comment on this. But I know one thing: Polish farmers can be proud of their apples, strawberries, currants and the EU’s safety regulations which we observe for exports," Kopacz debunked Medvedev's claims.
