Ministry of Transport proposes to ban European transport workers from importing paper and cardboard into Russia

The Ministry of Transport came up with an initiative to ban the free passage of vehicles from the EU countries involved in the import of paper and cardboard into Russia. This will affect, in particular, products used for the production of food packaging. Three top managers of companies involved in the production of fish, milk and meat products told Vedomosti about this. Representatives of the association of food suppliers “Rusprodsoyuz”, as well as the Association of International Road Carriers (ASMAP) are also aware of such an initiative.

The Ministry of Transport itself redirected Vedomosti’s questions to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and they said they were ready to comment only on the situation on the packaging market. The Ministry of Agriculture replied that they did not support the proposal of the Ministry of Transport.
