The representative of the Russian Federation explained that within Russian territory as well as of the EAEU, the Common Sanitary and Epidemiological and Hygienic requirements for products subject to sanitary and epidemiological supervision (control), established by the Decision of Customs Union's Commission on 28 of May 2010 No.

These mandatory requirements applied equally to both Russian and foreign goods. The requirements on migration of chemicals into air were based on the relevant available scientific and technical information. The suspension of imports of Ukrainian wallpaper produced by certain enterprises had been introduced by Russia in April 2015 given the violation of the Russian hygienic requirements on migration of formaldehyde and sterol into air. Rospotrebnadzor, which was responsible for market supervision and surveillance, detected large-scale violations of the above-mentioned requirements with respect to wallpaper sold in the Russian internal market.
