Russia Extends Import Food Ban through End 2017

On June, 29th 2016 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree #305, extending the ban on certain imported foods from the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia, Norway, Ukraine, Albania, Montenegro, Iceland, and Lichtenstein until the end of 2017. The Government decree implementing the Decree of the President is still pending publication, but according to Prime
Minister Medvedev the list of products covered by the document will remain unchanged.

Decree #305 is identical to Decree #320 of June, 24th, 2015, except for that the terms are now extended for 18 months, through December 31st, 2017, whereas last year’s decree mandated only a 12-months extension. Source: USDA
