Medvedev and Halonen discuss Russian grandmas and Finnish food

Restrictions imposed by Russia's food safety watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor on the import of meat and dairy products from 14 Finnish companies comes in force on Friday.

Restrictions were imposed on a number of Finnish meat production companies, including six enterprises of the leading Finnish dairy products company Valio, following an inspection by Russian experts of 23 enterprises.

Finish company Valio exports its products to over 40 countries worldwide and Russia accounts for some 30 percent of the company's total export volume.

Rosselkhoznadzor's decision was discussed at a high level during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Finland earlier this week.

Medvedev told Finnish President Tarja Halonen he hoped the issue would be resolved within the next two weeks.
