KYIV. Feb 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine has removed barriers regarding the health certificates that allows exporting confectionary nut-containing products to the EU.
“Our one-year saga to remove one of the barriers to export Ukrainian confectionary products to the EU successfully finished. In 2014, the technical regulations took effect in the EU that required health certificates for our nut-containing confectionary products. No Ukrainian power agency took responsibility for the issue of the certificate,” President of Ukrkondprom Association Oleksandr Baldyniuk wrote on his Facebook page.
In November 2015, the issue was put on the table of Deputy Agricultural Policy and Food Minister for European Integration Vladyslava Rutytska. The State Veterinary and Biosecurity Service of Ukraine has drawn up the required procedure under her control and started issuing the certificates to exporters.
“Last week first batches of these products went to the European Union,” he said.
