Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselchoznadzor) has returned a 18.6 ton consignment, which had to travel from Norway to Kazakhstan via Russia and Lithuania, back to Klaipeda Port because markings on some goods did not coincide with certificates issued in Norway.
According to Dr Milius, although the biggest fault here lies with a Norwegian company, the Lithuanian inspectors, too, should have checked the consignment more carefully.
The VMVT head said that breaches were not serious, frozen salmon had not expired. As soon as new certificates are received in a couple of days, the consignment will go to Kazakhstan.
