ArmInfo.Russia has expanded restrictions on imports of fish products from Armenia, temporarily suspending certification of products from two more Armenian companies until they resolve previously identified violations. Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) told TASS. Thus, all imports of fish products from Armenia have been suspended.
The agency recalled that, following systemic violations, Rosselkhoznadzor had previously requested that Armenia temporarily suspend certification of all fish products, with the exception of companies directly involved in the inspection - MF Export LLC and Invest Plus LLC. A strengthened laboratory monitoring regime has been introduced for these companies. "Subsequently, following an analysis of the materials, a preliminary report was prepared, and until the identified violations are corrected and the necessary supporting materials are provided, a decision was made to temporarily suspend certification of the products of these enterprises," Rosselkhoznadzor reported.
They emphasized that the agency is working with the Armenian side to ensure the safety of fish and fish products intended for delivery to the Russian market.
