The Ministry of Agriculture has prepared an order simplifying the conditions for issuing certificates for plant products. It is reported by "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".
For example, now for the shipment of products to the warehouse, an act of disinfection of grain and vegetable stores is not required. Also, a quarantine certificate can be obtained for the entire stored batch. Previously, a document was issued for the remainder of the product after each shipment. In addition, it does not need to indicate the number and date of the act on the disinfection of the premises. According to businessmen and experts, the new rules will significantly reduce the price of products in wholesale trade and save time on paperwork. This will preserve product quality in bad weather and long distance transportation. The experts also proposed to introduce remote registration of phytosanitary certificates in electronic mode.
