Thailand recommences salted chicken exports to EU

Thailand is again permitted to export salted poultry meat into Europe from mid-2012.

These exports had been forbidden over the last couple of years, as Thailand did not meet the European regulations with regard to animal health status and checks.

On the basis of several missions, the European Commission concluded that Thailand has made strong progress in this field, resulting in the approval of exporting poultry meat.

The annual import quota in the EU for Thai poultry meat is established at 92,610 tonnes.
