Onishchenko ready to personally inspect Georgian winemakers
MOSCOW. Oct 20 (Interfax) - The Federal Consumer Rights and Human Health Service is waiting for documents from Georgian companies wishing to resume wine deliveries to the Russian market, service head, Russian Chief Public Health Official Gennady Onishchenko told Interfax on Thursday.
The service met with a delegation of Georgian winemakers on Wednesday.
"They need to present documents describing their products first. We will examine the documents and visit the factories to check their production cycle. After that, product samples will be presented for certification," Onishchenko said.
"If the tests are successful, the products will be added to the register. The deliveries will start after that, and all the products will be checked," he said.
"I may visit [Georgia] personally to take a look [at the wine factories]," he said.
"I do not rule out insurmountable circumstances may appear if we decide to make a visit," Onishchenko said.
