Ukraine has lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) demanding that the Russian Federation immediately lift trade bans on the shipment of confectionery products of the Ukrainian corporation Roshen that were imposed by Russia’s Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare in late July 2013, reports UNIAN on March 31.
In a statement presented at the meeting of the WTO Committee on Technical Trade Barriers, March 19-20, and published on the organization’s site, Ukraine also requests that Russia provide specific reasons for implementing the discriminatory measures against Roshen.
