Russia Stop vegetable imports from Germany, Spain

 Russia imposed on Monday a ban on imports of fruits and vegetables from Germany and Spain, said Russia's chief sanitary inspector Gennady Onishchenko.

Onishchenko also said Russia didn't rule out the possibility to extend the ban on vegetable imports from the entire Europe, according to Interfax news agency.

He said that vegetables from Germany and Spain already imported have been removed from the shops and markets.

"We urge population not to purchase fresh vegetables from Germany and Spain. Acquire Russian production," Onoshchenko stated.

The ban has been introduced due to the intestinal infection outbreak in these countries.
