EU begins inspecting Ukrainian poultry farms
EU inspectors have begun inspecting five poultry farms in Ukraine with the aim of possibly allowing them to export their products to the EU.
Agrarian Policy Minister Yurii Melnyk said ten enterprises had applied for inspection.
Melnyk said if the five inspected poultry farms are allowed for exports to the EU, the remaining five that are not inspected would also be able to export their products to the EU.
The State Committee for Veterinary Medicine is hoping that exports of poultry meat and eggs to the EU will begin in 2010.
