Moscow - Russia's Rospotrebnadzor director and chief sanitary inspector Gennady Onishchenko said negotiations with a Ukrainian delegation may take place in Moscow this week, adding that he does not rule out the possibility of Roshen products returning to the Russian market.
“The negotiations may take place in Moscow on Thursday. The composition of the Ukrainian delegation has been communicated to us through official channels,” Onishchenko told Interfax on Monday.
Ukraine’s economics and agriculture ministers are expected to come to Moscow, he said. Speaking about the prospects of return of products manufactured by the Ukrainian confectionery company Roshen to Russia, Onishchenko said: “If all requirements are observed and if a system is made, we, of course, do not rule out their return.”
“However, it will take a lot of work. The quality needs to be stable and guaranteed,” Onishchenko said.
Onishchenko said he has already had phone consultations with his Ukrainian partners.
