    RUSSIA LIFTS BAN ON IMPORT OF ARMENIA'S VEGETABLES, FRUIT

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    May 31 2006

    MOSCOW, May 31 (Itar-Tass) - The Russian veterinary and phytosanitary
    watchdog (Rosselkhoznadzor) will lift the ban on the import of
    Armenian fruit and vegetables delivered via Georgia in transit,
    Rosselkhoznadzor's head Sergei Dankvert said on Wednesday.

    "All details have been coordinated and the relevant memorandum is
    expected to be signed later in the day with representatives of the
    Armenian phytosanitary service," he said.

    Under this document, "Armenia should send a cargo confirmation letter
    to Russia 24 hours before the cargo convoy departs," Dankvert said.

    "This letter should contain the numbers of phytosanitary certificates
    and truck number plates," he said.

    "By this we try to ensure maximum phytosanitary control of fruit and
    vegetables imported to Russia," he said.

    Rosselkhoznadzor imposed the ban on import of Armenia's fruit and
    vegetables in transit via Georgia in March as most phytosanitary
    certificates proved to be forged.

    During the joint consultations with Armenia, it was found out that
    "these certificates were forged in Georgia," Dankvert said.
