Russians block Polish exports

Russian authorities have inspected the production facilities of Polish meat and milk firms which want to export their products to Russia giving approval to only a third of those firms. Out of 18 firms inspected, only 6 have been approved to export to Russia. In one of the firms, the Russians found only minimal inadequacies, which if removed should clear the path for the firm to export its products to Russia. The other firms will be unable to export to Russia. Krzysztof Jażdżewski from Poland's veterinary inspection institution said the results are not surprising to him. “It is standard procedure for 40, 50 percent of firms to be allowed to export after Russian inspections,” he said.
