Russia threatens to go beyond food sanctions

Russian Premier Dmitry Medvedev heads the Cabinet meeting in Moscow on Thursday
Fears of a damaging trade war between Russia and the west grew as Moscow banned imports of a wide range of agricultural and food products and threatened possible sanctions on aerospace, shipbuilding and auto sectors.
Escalating its response to western sanctions over the country’s role in the Ukraine crisis Moscow barred imports of meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruit, milk, dairy products from the US, the EU, Australia, Canada and Norway for a year. A wide range of processed foods were also added to the blacklist of prohibited goods.
The government also threatened more counter-sanctions as it sought to punish the EU, US and its allies for the introduction of sector-wide measures against Russia last month.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev confirmed that the cabinet was discussing a proposal to ban European and American airlines from flying over Russian airspace en route to Asia. He added that Moscow was also “potentially ready” to introduce protective measures in a number of industrial sectors, including the automobile industry, shipbuilding and aircraft production.
Moscow’s latest move comes as tensions over Ukraine rise, with Nato warning of a renewed Russian troop build-up on its border with Ukraine and some western governments fretting that Russia might invade the neighbouring country under the guise of a humanitarian or peacekeeping mission.
Eckhard Cordes, chairman of the Eastern Committee, German industry’s lobby group for eastern Europe, warned on Thursday of “a descent into mutual economic sanctions”, which would “exacerbate the already difficult economic situation in the region”.
He estimated that Germany last year exported to Russia €570m of goods which were now on the Russian embargo list.
Hitting back with drastic protectionist measures reverses Moscow’s earlier stance. Until this week, government officials had frequently accused the US and the EU of abusing their power and endangering the global system of free trade with their punitive steps against Russia, and had pledged not to engage in tit-for-tat measures.
“There is nothing good in sanctions and it was not an easy decision to take, but we had to do it,” Mr Medvedev said.

Faced with the prospect of a widening trade war, the EU said that it regretted Russia’s move, which it labelled “clearly politically motivated”. Brussels said that it needed more time to study the impact of Moscow’s ban and called on Mr Putin to “de-escalate” the situation.
“Following full assessment by the commission of the Russian Federation’s measures, we reserve the right to take action as appropriate,” said Frederic Vincent, EU spokesman.
The EU’s trade disputes with Russia are normally fought out within the World Trade Organisation but Mr Vincent declined to say whether Brussels was immediately referring the food ban case there.
The scope of the Russian import ban is broader than predicted by some economists and observers at retail companies operating in Russia, and is expected to drive up inflation. More than 40 per cent of Russia’s food in value terms is imported. Its consumption of beef, pork, sugar, carrots, onions, poultry, milk and dairy products and potatoes exceeds its own production in volume terms.
“Strategically, this is a good move as Russia’s high levels of dependence on food imports have always been a concern from the national security perspective,” said Vladimir Tikhomirov, chief economist at BCS Prime, the Moscow brokerage.
While inflation pressure is seasonally low right now during the harvest season, economists expect it to pick up significantly from October.
US officials said the curbs would have an insignificant impact on the US economy. David Cohen, a senior official at the US Treasury department, said the ban contained a “cruel irony” because “Russia is imposing sanctions on its own people”. Sanctions that limit access to food were “not something that the US and its allies would ever do”.
The ban is expected to hurt some European exporters particularly hard. Russia is the world’s fifth-largest importer of agricultural products behind the EU, China, the US and Japan, accounting for 2 per cent of total global agricultural goods imports in 2012, according to the WTO. It is the EU’s largest agricultural goods export market.
Russian government officials were due to hold consultations with several Latin American countries over possibly increasing the amount of food imported from them.
Food importers, retailers, producers and consumers were left trying to figure out which agricultural products and foodstuffs could no longer be imported to Russia.
The government listed a total of 52 categories of products that will be banned for import from the US, the EU, Norway, Canada and Australia.
Spices and all grains important for staples have been spared. Treats beloved of Moscow’s middle class such as wine, olive oil and coffee have also escaped the ban.
But in the fine print, identified by mostly four-digit product codes used by customs all over the world, matters are more complicated.
The bans on dairy, fish and seafood are total. But there are exceptions in the meat segment. All fresh, chilled and frozen beef, pork, poultry and preserved meats such as sausage and ham are banned, but live animals, lamb and horsemeat can still be brought in. Some offal such as tongue and liver, which have a firm place on the Russian menu, are also still allowed.
Eggs and honey can still be imported but there is a blanket ban on all fresh, chilled and frozen vegetables. Fresh and frozen fruit and berries are almost completely off limits, with the peculiar exception of cherries, strawberries and other fruits and nuts provisionally preserved but unfit for human consumption.
Preserved and canned vegetables and fruit and juices, on the other hand, can still be imported.
While chocolate, cookies and other sweets are not listed, instant malt and cocoa drink powders are.
The government on Thursday held talks with officials from Latin American countries to discuss increased supplies of products such as Brazilian beef and milk powder.
