Pachetul de sancțiuni împotriva Rusiei exclude, totuși, importul de blană de zibelină / Oficial: „Se pare că e greu să le găsești în altă parte”
The EU has exempted Russian sable fur imports from sanctions, requested by Italy and Greece, despite the declining fur industry in Europe. This decision highlights the influence of these countries in shaping sanctions, as they are major luxury goods importers from Russia. The fur industry faces significant challenges, including profitability issues and environmental concerns, with reports indicating it costs the EU millions annually. Despite these challenges, economic interests seem to override the sanctions imposed on Russia.
