MOSCOW, November 23. The Russian President Vladimir Putin convened a meeting of the Presidium of the State Council in Perm on November 24, according to a presidential decree on the official portal of legal information.

As stated in the document, the theme of the meeting will be the implementation of the policies of the country in the field of import substitution in the Russian regions.

The administration of the President and the Manager entrusted with the preparation of the event.

At the end of July 2014, the EU and the U.S. announced sanctions against several sectors of the Russian economy due to the deterioration of relations between Russia and the West on the background of the conflict in Ukraine. In response, Russia in August 2014 restricted imports of food products from countries that have imposed sanctions against it, and declared the policy of import substitution. In the summer of 2015, the sanctions and retaliatory measures of the Russian Federation were extended for another year.
