Russian seafood processors complain as EU processsed fish escapes ban
SEAFOODNEWS.COM [Vedomosti] By Natalia Ischenko - August 21, 2014 -
Russian seafood processing companies are concerned because the import ban imposed by Moscow from 6 August will keep European raw fish out of Russia, while allowing imports of processed (smoked, salted, canned) fish.
Sergey Gudkov, executive director of the Russian Fishing Association, points out that the federal government had promised equal terms for competition between Russian and foreign fish processors, but Russian companies now find themselves in a "surprising situation": their supplies of raw fish have been cut off, but foreign producers still enjoy full access to raw fish and the right to sell their products in Russia.
