No re-exports from Switzerland

Switzerland, which is not covered by the Russian embargo will not serve as a springboard for re-exports.

An article in the Russian newspaper "Izvestia" has focused on the possibility that European products could enter Russia after a brief passage in Switzerland.

This story was picked up by other media and Russian television. Public opinion in the country believes that the ban is a good thing, Russian products being considered more natural and GMO free. The embargo could allow rapid development of Russian agriculture.

According to Russian media, the information has been taken over by the Austrian media. In Switzerland, the Federal Office of Agriculture reported speaking through his spokeswoman, Anne Rizzoli, that "the authorities do not support the re-exports of European agricultural products via Switzerland."
