The reason given is that many of these companies do not possess the correct certification to export to Russia.
According to the reports, Russia’s Vetinery and Phytosanitary Control organisation Rossielchoznadzor also claims that the Germans are doing nothing to correct these errors despite having been warned about them. Most of the companies effected are in Bavaria.
Of the 103 companies which have been banned from exporting to Russia, 21 are repeat offenders says Rosselchoznadzor, according to Cee Packaging.
The reason for the ban on meat is because Russia claims that German meat may come from third countries, above all from Pakistan and China.
Cee Packaging reports that there will be another inspection by the Russian authorities in Germany in February.
