The lawsuit of the Murmansk Fisheries Rights to the Government is registered in the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court registered the lawsuit of the Murmansk fish factory against the Russian government, in which the company seeks to exclude live fish from the list of goods prohibited to import into the country in accordance with the August food embargo. It is reported by ITAR-TASS.

The fish factory insists that the government decree, which establishes a specific list of prohibited goods, violates the decree of Vladimir Putin on the introduction of the embargo, since it violates the rights and interests of the enterprise, illegally creating obstacles to doing business.

The director of the fish component, Mikhail Zay, assured that he was ready to participate in the preparation of solutions that would eliminate the problem.

Now the fish complex does not work. “If the sanctions are not canceled in the near future, then the company will not be able to recover,” the tooth remarked.

The intention of the Murmansk fish factory to file a lawsuit against the government became known on September 2 . Then it was reported that the company stopped work due to the lack of raw materials as a result of the embargo for the supply of fish from Norway. “We have already addressed the letters to the chairman of the Russian government (Dmitry Medvedev. - Ed.), The tooth said,“ but we didn’t receive an answer. ”

Due to the features of the technological process, the Murmansk fish component can only be accepted by live fish from bulk vessels returning from fishing. Meanwhile, lively fishing in Russia is almost not conducted. According to Rosrybolovki, only two vigorous ships work in the country.

Thus, the company can only work with imported raw materials. Through the Norwegian auctions Norges Sildesalgslag and Norges råfisklag, the plant concluded contracts for the purchase in the second half of 2014 31 thousand tons of cod, caper, sides, picks and herring.

“We are afraid that now the processing will go to Belarus,” the tooth noted. “In addition, Norwegian companies will not suffer from sanctions, as they control 70 percent of the fishing business of an alternative direction - Chile.”

According to the Association of Production and Trade Enterprises of the Fisheries Market, the Murmansk fish factory is one of the 10 largest fishing enterprises in the country. The capacity of its production is 70 thousand tons per year.
