Russia asked the EU to strengthen control over roses from Ecuador and the Netherlands. The measure was taken due to numerous violations of phytosanitary requirements.

In addition, Rosselkhoznadzor introduced temporary restrictions on Farmina Pet Foods in Russia. The decision was made to prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine objects with contaminated flowers in anticipation of the pre-holiday seasonal spring arrivals. Earlier it was reported that Rossel Khoznicki is waiting for the results of an investigation into violations in bananas from Ecuador.
