Russian fishing official says EU ban would be counterproductive

The president of Russia’s Fishery Shipowners’ Association says EU processors would suffer in the event that sanctions were extended to whitefish.

“A ban on the supply of Russian fish to EU markets, as well as the US and UK, is a purely political instrument,” said Alexey Osintsev, president of the Fishery Shipowners’ Association.
