By EUobserver
Russia's ban on importing EU food could cost the bloc €6.7bn, according to Benelux bank ING. The bank estimates that the ban's impact will go beyond the EU's agriculture sector and could jeopardise 130,000 jobs. It could also cost 6 percent of EU production and 0.04 percent of its GDP.
