27 августа 2018

Faster certification for supply of poultry meat to the EU was among the main topics of the meeting with the European Commissioner in the Government House.

Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Rusy and European Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis discussed food security, development of the agro-industrial complex, quality and openness of markets for the promotion of Belarusian food products to the EU and transit through it. Belarus is interested in accelerating certification of poultry farms to supply poultry to the EU. Inspectors from Europe have already visited five of our enterprises that are applying for permits. In addition, we expect to expand the list of products for import into the EU. This will increase mutual exports and trade.

The European Commissioner stressed further readiness to cooperate with the Belarusian authorities and exchange information on veterinary surveillance, control and diagnosis of morbidity.
