Medvedev urged not to bring import substitution to absurdity

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called not to bring import substitution to the point of absurdity. He also ordered the departments to more carefully report the identification of the falsifier, reacting to the scandal with the Rosselkhoznadzor, who reported almost 80% of the fake cheeses of domestic production. The head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Alexander Tkachev, promised the prime minister to continue the struggle with the identification of counterfeit - on borders, in warehouses and in retail chains.

According to the head of government, it is necessary to concentrate on industry and high -tech industries: "If we can do this, we will turn into a highly developed country."

"The topic of import substitution, it is very important, but in no case should you bring it to the point of absurdity. We must also understand this. It should be replaced by the most important segments of what we are critical of, it is important to produce in our country. We are not about to replace everything, as sometimes we are trying to imagine, begin to discuss who wears, which is, first of all, first of all, to concentrate on industries, moreover High -tech products, in the production of means of production, as in Soviet times, they said - machines, mechanisms, vehicles.

Medvedev also asked officials to be more accurate in statements about the quality of Russian products and not to frighten people with falsifications. “It is necessary that all officials, saying such things, either accompany it with comments, and from such conclusions you need to draw very serious conclusions, or do not make it if they are not sure of these words,” he said.

Medvedev emphasized: “As soon as such phrases are pronounced, I just look on social networks and other sources, the people begin to worry and say where this is import substitution, if 80% of the cheese are falsified.”

So the head of the Russian government commented on the information that appeared that 80% of the cheese in the Russian market is a falsification, widespread by the Rosselkhoznadzor. Monitoring of raw materials conducted by the department in January-September revealed that in most cases it contains vegetable fats, which cheese manufacturers do not inform consumers. Other departments did not agree with such data, assessing the volume of the falsifier at 10-15%.
