The European Union requested the World Trade Organisation on 30 June 2014 to rule over a dispute concerning the Russian ban on imports of pigs and their genetic material, fresh pork and certain other pig products from the EU, purportedly because of a limited number of cases of African Swine Fever (ASF) in certain areas of close to the Belarusian border.

The legal action had been launched in April, following unsucessful negotiations between the two sides.
