The Port of Kotka has traditionally been the foremost export port in Finland.
It has evolved into a full-service logistics hub,
specialised in serving the global logistics needs of Finnish and Russian
foreign trade. The port has a geographical
location next to the Helsinki region but still in the heartland of the
Finnish wood-processing industry and immediately next to Russia with excellent
road, rail and deep-sea connections give a superior logistics advantage.

Russian Experts Look at Phytosanitary Control System
in Estonia
Extracted from Baltic Business Daily News
TALLINN, Feb 16, BNS - A high-ranking commission of Russian veterinary
and phytosanitary experts examined the arrangement of checks on products of
plant origin in Estonia as part of moves that could lead to the lifting of
a Russian ban on the import of such products from Estonia.
"The guests were satisfied with the organization of control
in Estonia and acknowledged the high professional qualities of our inspectors," said
Roland Nymann, director general of the Estonian Plant Production Inspectorate.
According to the Russian officials the arrangement of export
and reexport of products of plant origin headed for Russia is in need of better
regulation in the whole of European Union, Nymann said.
The Russian side said an official report on their findings together
with possible terms and conditions for lifting the restrictions and dates would
be presented in a couple of weeks.
Russia suspended the import of all products subject to phytosanitary
control from Estonia on Aug. 13, 2004. As a result of the Russian move the
transit
and export to Russia of such products traditionally shipped via Estonia as
cocoa and coffee beans, culinary herbs, wooden windows and doors has come to
a halt.
Estonian entrepreneurs have estimated that they are losing about
six million euros monthly because of the Russian ban.
