Moscow will lift embargo on Polish meat after Poland admits Russian inspectors - Yastrzhembsky

Moscow will not lift an embargo on meat imports from Poland until that country admits Russian inspectors to its agricultural enterprises, Russian Special Representative for EU Relations Sergei Yastrzhembsky has said.

"If there are no inspections, there will be no meat import permission. We can well live without Polish meat. Poland is interested in resuming these shipments, and therefore it should open its doors for Russian inspectors," Yastrzhembsky told Interfax on Saturday.

After Russia imposed an embargo on agricultural products from Poland, Warsaw vetoed the beginning of negotiations between the EU and Russia on concluding a new partnership and cooperation agreement.
