Belarusian companies have resumed Ukraine's dairy imports, according to the State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Service of Ukraine.

Temporary restrictions on the export of dairy products were lifted on May 7 from a number of Belarusian companies including Rogachev Dairy, Mozyr Dairy Products, Diary Products (Gomel), Snov, Savushkin Product, Bereza Creamery, Babushkina Krynka, Bellakt, Shchuchino Creamery.

A reminder, in March 2012 the State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Service of Ukraine suspended the import of Belarusian meat and dairy products. During the talks on May 3, First Vice Premier of Belarus, Vladimir Semashko and Ukrainian Minister for Economic Development and Trade, Piotr Poroshenko, were able to regulate the issue. Apart from this a protocol was signed by the Ukrainian-Belarusian commission on lifting temporary restrictions on the supplies of Belarusian meat and dairy products to Ukraine.
