We specify that in an interview with Deschide.MD - which will appear shortly - the Minister of Economy, Octavian Calmac said that the Rospotrebnadzor has already presented some preliminary results, according to which over 10 companies that produce alcoholic beverages were evaluated and will be placed on the list of companies eligible to export to the Russian market.
We remind you that the Russian authorities have banned more than once the Moldovan wines products, without present, however, evidence or arguments about the decision made. The latest restrictions on Moldovan wines were imposed in autumn 2013.
Subsequently, the embargo was canceled only for a few companies from the Transnistrian region. Following the imposition of the embargo in 2013, our country producers incurred losses of 20 million dollars and turned to other markets.
