"Since the EU cannot ensure the safety of meat imported by Russia once Bulgaria and Romania join in 2007, we have decided to hold talks with representatives of veterinary services from each EU member state," Sergei Dankvert, head of the Russian animal and plant health watchdog group, Rosselkhoznadzor, was quoted by the Russian news agency Interfax as saying.
"S obzirom da EU neće moći da osigura bezbednost mesa koje uvozi Rusija kada se Bugarska i Rumunija pridruže Uniji 2007. godine, odlučili smo da održimo razgovore sa predstavnicima veterinarskih službi svake od zemalja članica EU", izjavio je Sergej Dankvert, šef ruske organizacije za praćenje ispravnosti mesa i povrća Roselkhoznadzor, a prenosi ruska novinska agencija Interfaks.
