OREANDA-NEWS. July 01, 2010. As it was informed by Rospotrebnadzor, taking additional measures on toughen the supervision of Moldovan wine quality is due to inability of the government of Moldova to provide stable wine products delivery to Russia.

Earlier the agency has already informed of discrepancy of large parties of Moldovan wine with statutory requirements. As it was said earlier, Moldovan wine-making producers and their business partners – Russian importers – have undertaken to develop measures, excluding the possibility of product deliveries that doesn’t meet the statutory safety requirements.

This was discussed in Moscow at joint meeting of Russian importers and Moldovan wine-making producers, organized by non-profit organization Association of Alcohol Market Participants (AURA), with participation of Rospotrebnadzor specialists. Also there was discussed possible expansion of places of the customs clearance of the Moldovan wine production using temporary warehouses in Bryansk and Leningrad regions.

It was noted that Rospotrebnadzor is considering the proposals to provide safety of Moldovan wine product deliveries, stated in the appeal of participants of the meeting. According to Vasiliy Bumacov, the Vice Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry of Moldova, our country pledged to monitor strictly the quality of the alcoholic products made in Moldova and delivered to Russia to avoid situations that can affect the bilateral relations.

As it has informed earlier, in late April 2010 Rospotrebnadzor said that will strengthen supervision of the quality of Moldovan wine products supplied to Russia. The motive of this announcement became the identification of discrepancy of wine consignments with Russian hygienic standards. Subsequently, according to Head Physician Assistant of FSIPH (Federal State Institute of Public Health) The Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow Svetlana Safonkina, in 2009 none of tested consignments of Moldovan wine has rouse censure.

In the I quarter of 2010 in one consignment was found the sediment, in the other – the fuzzes. Representatives of Moldovan business, being present at the meeting in Moscow, consider the problem of Moldovan wine safety slightly exaggerated, and that the breaches on consignments could appear in transportation, particularly, the sediment could be a tartar precipitated because of hard frost.
