MOSCOW, March 19 (RIA Novosti) -In case of an adverse epizootic situation in a supplying country meat importers will be able to re-assign their meat importing licenses to any other country. This provision is now stipulated by the Russian Government's decree "On Additional Measures to Regulate Imports of Beef, Pork and Poultry".

According to the Government's press service, in case the Federal Veterinary and Phyto-sanitary Inspection orders a full or partial ban on import of beef, pork or poultry from a supplying state (a union of states) for reasons of adverse epizootic situation in the area, a meat importer with a valid meat-importing license is entitled to re-assign the license to any other supplying state (union of states) within the same quota irrespective of the overall quota pre-established for the state (union of states) in question.

"The Federal Veterinary and Phyto-sanitary Inspection will within a period of three days following the date of imposing a total of partial ban on import of the goods listed in paragraph 1 of this decree due to adverse epizootic situation inform the Economic Development and Trade Ministry and the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation of such a ban," the Government's decree says.

The document enters in force upon the date of its official publication.
