Russia reviews decision on US poultry ban 29 Sep 2008

Russia will review trade agreements with up to five countries, with one being the US, said Chief Foreign Trade Negotiator Maxim Medvedkov. The 2005 US-Russia bilateral meat agreement, although it has not yet run its 5-year course, will also be under review.

In August, it was announced that Russia would ban 19 US poultry producers from exporting to the country, and subsequently announced that it was cutting all of its poultry imports by 17%.
