This question Deputy Minister of agricultural development of Greece Panagiotis Sgouridis agreed with the representative of the Russian Ministry of agriculture Alexei Alekseenko at the meeting in Thessaloniki in the framework of the international exhibition of food products, RIA "news" referring to the Athens news Agency." After treatment of the Greek bureaucrat Alekseenko promised to send a letter to the Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, which favours the exception of three Greek products from a list of items, import of which Russia banned in the last month of summer of the member States of the European Union in the form of countermeasures on penalties against the interests of the country ", - informs the Greek Agency. Sgouridis expressed optimism that the request of Greece will be satisfied." There is a very high likelihood that two or three of these goods will be excluded from the list fall under the embargo, " he said. After the embargo, import fruit and vegetables from Greece in the Russian Federation fell by more than 40%. In addition, Greece would like to enter the Russian market with the supply of animals and reproductive material (plant and animal), reports the Athens news Agency. Remember, August 7, 2014 Russia imposed a complete ban on the export of beef, pork, fruits, poultry, cheese and milk from the EU, USA, Australia, Canada and Norway, which introduced sanctions against Russia.

Thus, according to the results of the meeting of January 29, Greece has made exceptions to the communiqu? paragraph on the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, as well as statements on the occasion of the Moscow responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine.
