It says the Commission Decision no. 888 of 09/12/2011. To this end it is noted that the sanitary certificates are the export reports, documents issued before 01/07/2010 and sanitary certificates (state registration certificate), issued by Russian health authorities until 01/01/2011, i.e. after the entry into force of the Agreement on common sanitary measures, with only the national validity.
