Gryzlov says Poland’s stand on Russia-EU talks “unacceptable”

State Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov said Poland’s decision to veto the commencement of talks on a new partnership agreement between Russia and the European Union was “unacceptable”.

“We understand that it is easier to issue ultimatums than to conduct a constructive dialogue and talks,” Gryzlov said sarcastically on Wednesday.

He said Polish agricultural produce did not meet Russian standards and therefore could not be let into the Russian market.’

The speaker said this was the reason for the ban on Polish meat imports.

Gryzlov said he would meet with the parliament speaker of Finland, which is the current EU president, on Friday, November 24. “I think we will discuss this issue, too,” he said.
