Russia embargoes imports of plant products (including barley and malt) from Denmark, Estonia, Germany and the Netherlands. Russia does not recognize Phytosanitary Certificates from these countries. One Russian request is to introduce a common EU certificate. Negotiations on EU and national levels to lift the ban promise partial results, but at the same time other countries namely: Belgium, Lithuania, Poland received warnings that they may be embargoed as well.
