GENEVA, June 28 (AFP) : The European Union has filed a formal complaint against Russia at the WTO over Moscow's embargo on pork from the bloc, trade sources said Friday.
The move followed a failure to settle the issue in direct talks in April and May, and comes amid a raft of trade disputes between the two sides.
In January, Russia banned imports of live pigs and pork from the EU after the discovery of two cases of African Swine Fever among wild boar in Poland and Lithuania.
