Rusia pune din nou în discuție importurile de vin din Rep. Moldova
August 14, 2013
Potrivit publicației Ekonomika, Federaţia Rusă ar putea, în timpul apropiat, să limiteze importul unor tipuri de vinuri din Republica Moldova. O declaraţie în acest sens a fost făcută de şeful „Rospotrebnadzor”-ului (Centrul de Epidemiologie), medicul sanitar principal al Rusiei, Ghenadie Onişcenko.
Potrivit oficialului rus, în timpul apropiat „Rospotrebnadzor” va întreprinde un şir de măsuri vizavi de importurile de vin din Republica Moldova, motivația fiind ca de obicei calitatea produselor. „În viitorul apropiat vor fi luate măsuri pentru a restricționa furnizorul, în cazul în care autoritățile Republicii Moldova nu vor manifesta interes pentru crearea de condiții civilizate de primire a produselor moldovenești pe piața rusă”, a declarat Onişcenko. Potrivit sursei citate, pretenţiile privind băuturile alcoolice importate din Moldova sunt legate de calitatea producţiei, care a fost pusă la îndoială în urma efectuării expertizelor. Ghenadi Onişcenko a menţionat că pretenţiile înaintate au la bază temeiuri serioase. Reamintim că la începutul anului 2012, în contextul discuțiilor privind simplificarea procedurii de import a vinului din Moldova, același Onișcenko declara că “Atunci când am început schimbările în acest domeniu, în Republica Moldova erau mai mult de 200 de aşa-numite companii vinivole. Acum, au rămas aproximativ 60 de companii. Dar acestea sunt într-adevăr, acele întreprinderi care dispun de plantaţii viticole, de tehnologii de prelucrare şi, cel mai important – dispun de experţi. De aceea, în prezent discuțiile cu Republica Moldova sunt destul de active si noi în curând, probabil, vom declara că am reușit să facem paşi concreţi de liberalizare suplimentară a produselor vinicole moldoveneşti pe piaţa rusă “, – a spus şeful Rospotrebnadzor-ului.
Astfel, în 2010 Republica Moldova a exportat în Federaţia Rusă peste 308 milioane de litri de băuturi alcoolice. Dintre acestea, peste două milioane de litri de vin nu au ajuns în vânzare, iar jumătate din acest volum a fost reîntors în Moldova, arată datele Serviciul sanitar rus Rospotrebnadzor.
Potrivit oficialilor, 44 de întreprinderi din Republica Moldova au dreptul de a livra producția de vin în Rusia, dar numai 20 de companii fac livrari în mod curent. ‘Pentru anul 2013 din Moldova s-au primit deja 1713 loturi de producție vinicolă în valoare totală de 11 milioane 760 mii de litri’, – a declarat șeful Centrului de Epidemiologie. Actualul plan nu va fi la fel de dezastruos ca în 2006 (când s-a restricționat complet accesul vinului moldovenesc în Rusia -. n.red)’. ‘Până în prezent, am început consultări, consultarea directă cu mediul de afaceri din Moldova, pentru că schimbările promise nu au fost o realitate’, – a spus Onișcenko. Potrivit șefului de la Epidemiologie, Republica Moldova nu ia măsuri pentru a stabili un sistem național de control al calității alcoolului, ceea ce împiedică în mod constant o creștere în transporturile către Rusia.
De menţionat că, la finele lunii martie 2006, Rusia a impus un embargo la importul de vinuri din Moldova, motivînd că în băuturile alcoolice moldoveneşti au fost depistate metale grele şi pesticide. Ulterior, în cadrul summitului CSI din 2007, preşedinţii Rusiei şi Moldovei au convenit să reia livrările produselor vinicole moldoveneşti pe piaţa rusă conform principiul „ghişeului unic”, cu condiţia înăspririi controlului asupra calităţii. Potrivit datelor statistice, în 2010 Republica Moldova a exportat în Federaţia Rusă peste 308 milioane de litri de băuturi alcoolice. Dintre acestea, peste 2 milioane de litri de vin nu au ajuns în vânzare, iar jumătate din acest volum a fost reîntors în Moldova, arată datele Serviciul sanitar rus Rospotrebnadzor.

Argentina Navy Chief fired after ARA San Juan submarine tragedy
ARGENTINA – Argentina has fired the head of its Navy a month after one of its submarines vanished with 44 crew members on board. Admiral Marcelo Eduardo Hipolito Srur was sacked by the country’s defence minister. The ARA San Juan was last heard from on November 15 when it reported a fire on board. A navy spokesperson said the message added that the issue was resolved. But it was still ordered to return to base at Mar del Plata.
The ARA San Juan has not been heard from since, despite a multi-national search effort some 250 miles off the Argentinian coast. Hopes for finding the submarine and its crew faded when the search passed 10 days, which was the amount of time the San Juan would have been able to sustain life with its limited oxygen supply.
U.S. Displays Weaponry It Says Proves Iran’s Influence
New UN report says investigators couldn’t definitively conclude missiles came from Iran. The U.S. for the first time publicly displayed what officials said were Iranian-made missiles, drones and other weaponry as proof of Tehran’s growing military influence in the Middle East.
At a hangar on an Air Force base in Washington, D.C.—where weapons remnants were on display— Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said the debris pointed to Iran’s threat to the region. Pentagon officials exhibited the weaponry to make their case that Tehran is actively fomenting instability, arming Houthi rebels inside Yemen who in turn have used the arms against American allies, particularly Saudi Arabia. Iran has denied that it arms the Houthis.

North Korea fires second ballistic missile over Japan
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile across Japan, creating new tension in the region after its nuclear bomb test less than two weeks ago. The missile reached an altitude of about 770km (478 miles), travelling 3,700km before landing in the sea off Hokkaido, South Korea’s military says. It flew higher and further than one fired over Japan late last month.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his country would “never tolerate” such “dangerous provocative action”. South Korea responded within minutes by firing two ballistic missiles into the sea in a simulated strike on the North. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also condemned the launch and the UN Security Council will meet later on Friday, 15 September 2017, in New York at the request of America and Japan.
