Ukraine wants EU inspection for poultry sector
Ukraine hopes its poultry enterprises would be inspected by EU specialists this year with the aim of being allowed to export chicken meat to the EU.
The State Veterinary Medicine Committee conducts relevant negotiations with its European counterparts, according to committee chairman Petro Verbytsky.
Verbytsky said Ukraine would be able to export poultry meat by 2010 if everything goes well, and that Ukraine is price-competitive.
Ukraine currently supplies live horses, fish, powdered eggs and honey to the EU.
