After Russia banned food product import from the EU, trucks with cargo which left for Moscow before the ban were told to return to Lithuania. This was reported on Saturday by Lithuanian road carriers, writes LETA/ELTA.Their biggest concern remains on where to safely store food products in order for them not to get spoiled.
In the weekend 16 trucks have come back from Russia. They transported goods at the beginning of the week and reached Russian customs on Thursday. When customs procedures were being carried out Russian customs officers announced that goods will have to be transported back, as Moscow embargo on food import from the EU went into force.
“However, the biggest issue is what should be done with the cargo. Should it be sold? First, it is necessary to collect all the data on the available storage space where frozen products could be further stored,” said representative of the Road Carriers Association Linava Gytis Vincevicius.
