Melkonian: Ban on import of some goods applicable only in Russia
IIf a member country of the Customs Union bans the import of a commodity into its territory, the ban is only applicable in this country, Armenian Deputy Minister of Economy Garegin Melkonian said at a meeting with reporters today, when commenting on the recent ban on lace underwear import into the Customs Union which sparked a protest of women in Kazakhstan.
According to the deputy minister, a ban is applicable in the whole territory when it is imposed by the appropriate body of the Customs Union, rather than by one country. “In this case the ban on lace underwear import is valid only in Russia,” he said.
