The talks between Deputy Head of the Rosselkhoznadzor Yevgeny Nepoklonov and Director of Directorate G (Veterinary and International Affairs) within EU DG for Health and Consumers Bernard van Goethem were held in the teleconference format.
Speaking about paragraph 4.1 of veterinary certificates for pork products Yevgeny Nepoklonov stressed that in order to ensure real safety of pork products pigs must be born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the countries not only free for African swine fever but also not adjacent to the countries where ASF was registered.
In conclusion Yevgeny Nepoklonov recommended arranging talks between the European Commission and Eurasian Union Commission to discuss regionalization and changes in the veterinary certificate and reminded that Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus form a common economic zone together and veterinary certificates should be agreed not only with the Rosselkhoznadzor but also with the Veterinary Services of the Member States.
