Commenting on the law banning the sale of homemade dairy and meat products at food markets, which is to come into effect as of January 1, 2010, the speaker said that «a solution to that problem will be found by the end of October.»

«Verkhovna Rada should make a decision putting off the ban at least until 2012," he said.

He noted that the parliament had registered a bill suggesting the ban not be introduced until 2015.

A corresponding bill amending Clause 1 of Section 11 of the Final Provisions of the Ukrainian law on the safety and quality of foodstuffs in connection with the sale of homemade food at foods markets, which envisaged the rescheduling of a ban on the sale of such foodstuffs until 2015, has been registered in parliament.

According to the explanatory note to the document, the law on safety and quality of foodstuffs foresees the introduction as of January 1, 2010, of the ban on the sale of home produced milk and homemade cottage cheese, as well as slaughtering cattle, poultry and rabbits in numbers exceeding five head per day if it is not done at a licensed slaughter house registered by a veterinary service.
