The Russian Federal service on customers’ rights protection and human well-being surveillance rejected on results of the year 2010 more than 2,2 million of liters of Moldavian wine, cognac and wine-making materials from Moldova and more than 729.000 litres from Abkhazia, reports the department’s press service. "The total of substandard production makes 2 234 090,5 litres of wine from Moldova, cognac and wine-making materials" – is spoken in the message. Altogether in 2010 it has been imported more than 117 million litres of wine, 34 million litres of cognac and 157 million litre of wine-making materials from Republic Moldova to Russia. In 2006 has been imposed a ban on import of Moldavian wines into Russia for reasons of safety and quality. But in the summer 2007 the production of more than 40 Moldavian wineries has anew passed sanitary-and-epidemiologic examination and deliveries have been resumed. In April 2010 a large party of wine in volume of 47.000 litres has been rejected once again because of "discrepancy of production to safety requirements". In the end of August the chief of Federal service for human well-being surveillance has declared, that the situation with quality of delivered production had changed and after having examined all documents and carried out necessary researches the decision to increase the number of suppliers of a Moldavian wine up to 53 has been accepted. In 2010 16 million litres of wine and 79 thousand litres of cognac have been imported from Abkhazia into Russia. "By results of laboratory researches of the alcoholic production made in Abkhazia, seven lots of wine because of the content of softener dibutyl phthalate in volume of 729.120 litres of wine" did not satisfy the hygienic requirements.
