Russia blocks UK-EU divorce in world trade body
By EUobserver
Russia has objected to EU and UK plans to split their import quotas at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva as part of Brexit. It vetoed the move on grounds that WTO members had not yet completed ratification of new overall EU quotas after Croatia joined in 2013, news agency m-lex reported, citing sources. The quotas govern which goods and how much can be imported with or without tariffs.
