"Seuls des sots de Bruxelles et de Rome pouvaient adopter des sanctions économiques contre la Russie", a-t-il écrit jeudi sur son compte Twitter, ajoutant que des aliments pour un montant s'élevant à plus d'un milliard d'euros étaient revenus en Italie.
"Qui remboursera nos producteurs? Matteo Renzi (premier ministre italien, ndlr), [la chancelière allemande Angela] Merkel?", a indiqué M.Salvini avant d'ajouter que pour plaire à Berlin et à Washington, M.Renzi avait détruit l'économie du pays.
"Il est indispensable de lever immédiatement les sanctions imposées contre la Russie", a conclu l'homme politique.
Le 7 août, le gouvernement russe a publié une liste de produits interdits d'importation en provenance des Etats-Unis, de l'Union européenne, de l'Australie, du Canada et de la Norvège, en réponse aux sanctions imposées contre Moscou.
Cette interdiction valable un an concerne le bœuf, le porc, la volaille, le poisson, le fromage, le lait et les produits laitiers, les légumes et les fruits.http://fr.ria.ru/world/20140815/202153581.html

Europe “shoots itself in the foot” with Russia sanctions — Hungary PM...
ReplyDeleteLONDON, August 15./ITAR-TASS/. The European Union has shot itself in the foot economically with the sanctions it has imposed on Russia in the Ukraine crisis, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday, calling on the EU to rethink its policy.
“The sanctions policy pursued by the West, that is, ourselves, a necessary consequence of which has been what the Russians are doing, causes more harm to us than to Russia,” Orban was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. “In politics, this is called shooting oneself in the foot”.

Mayor of Latvia’s capital city goes to Moscow to protect Latvian producers...
ReplyDeleteMayor of Latvia’s capital city Nil Ushakov plans to come to Moscow in late August - early September to rescue the Riga’s Yard food project, affected by the Russian tit-for-tat sanctions.
Riga’s Yards are special sections in Russian supermarkets, which offer goods from Latvia.
The mayor said in an exclusive interview with ITAR-TASS on Friday “it is very important for us to keep the Riga’s Yard project.”
“The project has required many efforts. It is a good project, and we do not want to lose relations with Moscow retailers. Clearly, if we are removed from supermarkets for some time, the places may be taken by either Armenian Yards or by Brazil Yards. Moscow is a pampered market, and the competition is very high there,” he said.
Retailers in Moscow and the Moscow region have organised over 20 Riga’s Yards, which offer over 300 products, including diary, tinned sprats and confectionery.
The mayor continued saying Riga’s legislators had been assisting Latvian producers in promoting their food products in the Russian markets.
“For us and personally for myself, the key objective now is to apply every effort to keep the Riga’s Yards project. We believe and hope the sanctions war is over sooner or later, and we hope it happens rather sooner than later,” he said.......................http://en.itar-tass.com/world/745124

EU Foreign Ministers to Discuss Response to Russian Sanctions, Iraq Aid...
ReplyDeleteBRUSSELS, August 15 (RIA Novosti) – In the middle of their summer break, EU foreign ministers will gather for an extraordinary meeting to discuss a response to Russia’s EU food imports ban and aid for Iraq.
Of the 28 EU foreign ministers, 20 are expected to attend. This will be the first opportunity for them to discuss Russia’s decision to ban food and agricultural imports from the EU in response to the Western economic sanctions.
A high-profile EU official told the press Thursday that the ministers would assess the consequences of possible measures and decide whether to legally challenge Moscow. He also noted that filing a suit to the World Trade Organization is the prerogative of the European Commission, however, the ministers could send out a political signal backing such a move.
The EU representative stressed that discussing new sanctions against Russia is not on the agenda. “With regard to a new round of economic sanctions, I think it is a little bit too early at this stage,” he said.
Also, the Foreign Affairs Council meeting is to clarify the future of contacts between Brussels and third countries which can potentially replace European states in food exports to Russia. The diplomat said the EU was not going to ask these countries to join the sanctions, but would explain them the reasons for anti-Moscow economic restrictions.........................http://en.ria.ru/world/20140815/192025904/EU-Foreign-Ministers-to-Discuss-Response-to-Russian-Sanctions.html

EU sanctions against Russia strangle European economy slowly but surely...
ReplyDeleteThe German economy, for the first time since 2012, dropped by 0.2 percent in the second quarter, resulting in the absence of GDP growth in the eurozone. The Ukrainian crisis and the trade war with Russia have played a significant role in the setback, which casts doubts on the plans to restore the growth in the second six months of the current year.
Last year, the German economy rescued the eurozone from the longest recession. In the first quarter of this year, German GDP grew by 0.7% (revised from 0.8%). German statistical office Destatis said that one of the reasons for the decline in economy in the second quarter was the previous period, which was a positive one due to warm winter. Another factor was the rapid growth of imports.
Previously, Deutsche Bank analysts noted that the geopolitical crisis in Ukraine and strained relations with Russia would have a knock-on effect on the German economy as well. German exports are particularly sensitive to the weakness of the Russian economy. The decline of Russia's GDP by one percentage point was historically reflected in the reduction of exports from Germany to Russia by 3.5 percentage points, economists of the bank said.
Unpleasant economic news came from France on Thursday. The economy of the country has not grown vs. the previous quarter; the growth did not even reach even the modest forecast of 0.1 percent.
The third largest economy in the eurozone - Italy - went back to recession at the beginning of August. Italian GDP for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 0.2 percent and for the first quarter - by 0.1 percent.......................http://english.pravda.ru/business/companies/15-08-2014/128287-eu_russia_sanctions-0/
