EU seeks Ukraine poultry exports

EU inspectors are to visit Ukraine's poultry farms again with the view to possible future exports to the EU.

The European Commission's Directorate General for Health and Consumer Protection (DG SANCO) announced plans to inspect Ukraine's poultry producers, the State Veterinary Medicine Committee has reported.

Ukraine reports state that experts with DG SANCO already inspected Ukraine's poultry enterprises in June 2009 with a view to the right to deliver Ukrainian goods to European markets. However, after the inspection, the European Commission said that Ukraine's poultry control system do not meet European standards.
