Egypt threatens retaliation over Russia's potato import ban

April 11, 2012
Egypt, one of the world’s largest potato exporters, threatened on Tuesday to take retaliatory measures against Russia if it keeps a ban on Egyptian potato imports.
“We’ll not find our hands tied in a situation, which has no justification, and will take retaliatory measures against Russian exports on a principle of reciprocity,” Egyptian Industry and Foreign Trade Minister Mahmoud Eissa was quoted by Mena news agency as saying.
