Since July 2018 Russian producers prepare electronic veterinary certificates (EVC) for livestock products in the "Mercury" system. For a number of products, this requirement has been postponed. Since July 1, 2019, it became mandatory to issue EVC for all finished livestock products, except for drinking milk, fermented dairy products in consumer packaging and ice cream – they will be included into the "Mercury" since November 1.
"The Ministry of agriculture of Russia does not expect interruptions and slowdown in the delivery of products to retail outlets because of the inclusion of all finished dairy products into FSIS "Mercury". Market participants are aware of the inclusion of product groups into the system. At the moment, both the API and the web interface of the system are working stably, there are no slowdowns and technical failures in the work", reported in the Ministry of agriculture.
