<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn 14 April, the Food Committee of the European Business Association held a meeting with the leadership of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (SSUFSCP). The participants discussed a wide range of issues, including import restrictions, the use of e-Phyto certificates, and changes in the regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n
One of the key topics was the restriction on imports from Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia due to the registration of foot-and-mouth disease cases. The SSUFSCP reported that the situation in Hungary and Slovakia remains unstable, and therefore easing of restrictions is not currently under consideration. In contrast, Germany has shown progress in stabilisation, and a review of the bans may be possible in the near future. Businesses expressed gratitude to the SSUFSCP for their efforts in negotiations with the German side and for their openness in discussing next steps.<\/p>\n
Participants also discussed the export of peas from Ukraine to the People\u2019s Republic of China. SSUFSCP representatives noted that despite the signing of a protocol on phytosanitary requirements, certain aspects still require agreement with the Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n
The meeting also addressed the implementation of the new procedure for registering business entities, as outlined in Order No. 1640 of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy dated 27 May 2024. Business representatives requested clarification on the application process and the re-registration procedure after the six-month transitional period expires.<\/p>\n
The use of electronic phytosanitary certificates (e-Phyto) was another topic of discussion. SSUFSCP informed attendees that not all countries have fully adopted the electronic format, but the regulator is monitoring the situation daily. The Service emphasised that where an electronic certificate is available, a paper copy is not required. They also plan to prepare clarifications for their regional offices on this issue.<\/p>\n
In addition, SSUFSCP representatives mentioned the joint preparation\u2014together with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy\u2014of a draft resolution on enhanced import controls, particularly for bananas from Ecuador, to prevent abuse and define inspection frequency. Special attention was given to the ongoing ban on the import of lettuce from Spain due to the risk of thrips spreading.<\/p>\n
Among other points, the participants agreed on the importance of holding regular SSUFSCP briefings with the relevant committees of business associations.<\/p>\n
The European Business Association expresses its sincere thanks to the leadership of the SSUFSCP for the informative meeting and comprehensive responses. We value the efforts made to support Ukrainian businesses.<\/p>\n
