“The approvals are part of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) ascension agreement between Russia and the
United States,” commented Alexander Kholopov,
U.S. Grains Council director
in Russia.
“The applications had been in process in Russia
for two years, but no agency had the legal power to approve
them.” Russia’s Federal Agency for Veterinary and Phytosanitary
Control (Rosselkhoznadzor) approved the two events, bringing the
total number of biotech events approved in Russia for feed use
to six.
“These approvals should facilitate the Council’s
efforts to register U.S. distiller’s dried grains with solubles
and other co-products for export to Russia,” Kholopov added.
