Speaking during the inauguration of the Russian consulate in Naples, Russia's Ambassador to Italy, Sergey Razov, talked of reasons for concern and requests to stop the policy of sanctions. "Trade between the two countries has fallen 10 percent since last year, and in the first five months of 2015, it dropped 30 percent. The radical solution would be to abolish sanctions, which would lead Russia to cancel its countersanctions that are "the consequence of actions pursued by EU countries." The Ambassador envisages a further solution to mitigate negative factors, namely "the transfer of Italian production to Russian territory". "Businesses that have already taken this forward stride have earned twice the amount they made in recent years as prices have changed, with the rise of the euro against the ruble, and Russian labour, raw materials and energy costing less in the Federation, " said the Ambassador.(AGI)
