RBC, 01.09.2010, Moscow 15:59:45.Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on introducing several exceptions to the temporary ban on grain exports from August 15 to December 31, 2010. According to the document, wheat, meslin, barley, rye, corn, and wheat flour can be exported for the purposes of fulfilling international agreements, ensuring Russian entities' operations in Spitsbergen and Baikonur (Kazakhstan), and also as part of international humanitarian efforts. As reported earlier, the government passed a decision on August 5 to introduce a ban on grain exports due to the drought and loss of harvests. Russia is currently the world's fourth largest groats importer, after the U.S., the EU and Canada.
