11.02.2013 (Hvino News). The arrival by Russian inspections in Georgia to inspect Georgian enterprises has been delayed,  as Gennady Onishchenko, head of Rospotrebnadzor and chief sanitary doctor  told the Russian news agency Interfax on Monday.

"The departure of three teams of experts was postponed on indefinite term", he said. On February 4, at a meeting with the Georgian delegation in Moscow at Rospotrebnadzor they have agreed on the mechanism of granting access of wine and mineral water from Georgia to Russia. In particular, it was decided that this week, three teams of experts from Rospotrebnadzor were to visit Georgia to inspect production.

"We have agreed that during a week the Georgian side would develop and provide us their suggestions regarding the enterprises to be visited by our experts, and we would depart on Monday. But we have not received such information, so the departure was delayed", said Gennady Onishchenko. Earlier, Levan Davitashvili, head of  National Wine Agency of Georgia, said that the lists of enterprises for inspection were to be provided to the Russian side by Monday.
