08:06 20.03.2013

The second inspection of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare to Georgia will most likely be postponed, because Georgian wine makers did not present all the necessary documents, RIA Novosti reports.

The experts were planning to visit Georgia in late March 2013.

59 more Georgian enterprises presented applications to sell alcohol drinks in Russia. Additional enterprises were added to the list by the Georgian National Wine Agency, though they did not apply for inspection.

The federal service is ready to inspect the enterprises as soon as all the needed information is presented. The sanitary visit will be carried out according to the schedule approved by the Georgian National Wine Agency and the National Food Agency.

The first inspection was held on February 25 – March 1, 2013. 36 alcohol manufacturers and four companies producing mineral water were permitted to register products in Russia.
