Spivacenco said the restrictions, which also affected tobacco, were lifted on March 6. However, all exports must go through one customs point and will be subject to hygiene checks on the border, he said. The restrictions were imposed in May 2005 on the grounds that Moldovan exporters &quot;had not observed Russian and international norms.&quot; At the time, Moldovan officials dismissed the ban as politically motivated. Moldovan meat exports were banned at the same time and wine exports subsequently. Those restrictions were also lifted recently, though Moldovan exporters report continued obstacles (see &quot;RFE\/RL Newsline,&quot; November 30, 2006, and January 29, 2007). Russia used to buy the overwhelming majority of Moldovan fruit and vegetable exports, Basa reported. According to official statistics reported by the news agency IPN on March 10, Moldova&#8217;s total exports fell 3.6 percent in 2006. Exports to states in the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Russia, accounted for 40.3 percent of the total, down from 50.5 percent in 2005. At $235 million, Moldova&#8217;s trade deficit with Russia was smaller only than its deficit with Ukraine. \/\/ Copyright (c) 2005. RFE\/RL, Inc.
