Russia has enough mechanisms to protect the market and citizens from genetically modified food, without violating its obligations to the WTO, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
"We must build our work so as it will not be contrary to our obligations within the WTO, but even with the circumstance taken into consideration, we nevertheless have lawful methods and instruments to protect the domestic market and citizens," the president noted during the meeting with members of the council of the parliament's upper house.
The market and citizens must be protected from poor-quality products and food, consequences of consumption of which are not fully studied yet, he notes.
"We can, must and will do it," Putin said, noting that the issue was discussed by the Security Council recently.
