Europe refuses Crimean goods

The Foreign Minister of Lithuania, Linas Linkyavichyus, stated that the Council of the EU decided to forbid import of products from Crimea to the EU.

Previously it was reported that on June 23rd the Council of the EU will “discuss a strategy of non-recognition of Crimea’s accession to Russia.” The strategy “contains measures of trade and economic character.” “The EU will import only those Crimean products which will have Ukrainian certification,” ITAR-TASS cites him.

The EU intends to launch prohibition against import of wine and other products made in Crimea within sanctions against Russia.
