Russia bans import of flowers from the Netherlands

‘Russia has banned the import of cut flowers from the Netherlands, the country’s hygiene watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor said, claiming the presence of quarantine organisms on the products.

The watchdog recommends national EU hygiene organizations suspend certification of Dutch cut flowers destined for Russia, it said in a statement Monday.

The ban will temporarily affect all flower imports from the Netherlands, according to a watchdog representative cited by TASS.

Russia suggested European authorities deal with the Netherlands’ exports to avoid a temporary ban on cut flowers delivered from the whole of EU, the watchdog said, adding that Dutch flowers are usually given certificates by the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and Poland.’
