ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) – Swiss government is checking the reports of cases of re-export to Russia, but claims there is no systematic circumvention of sanctions, Stefan Fluckiger, Swiss Ambassador and Head of Sectorial Foreign Policies Division at the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, told Sputnik.
"When we hear about re-export, we go to that specific company or sector and check. I heard about it at this forum, concerning the Swiss cheese or other goods, especially agricultural. We are checking what is happening," Fluckiger said.
"But I can say that the level of our agricultural exports to Russia has not increased. We are checking, but there is no systematic circumvention of the sanctions through third countries," he added.
