Pork products from Italy, including the renowned Parma ham, are now allowed on the Taiwanese market following joint work by the European Commission and the Italian authorities. The opening of the market is expected to generate sales of Italian pork products of around €2 million.
The approval for fresh meat is effective immediately, but it will take several months until hams will be available for sale as they have to complete their maturation process before being placed on the market. The opening of the Taiwanese market is the result of several years' work engaging with the Taiwanese government, academia and the wider public in a dialogue to explain the EU's comprehensive, multi-layered control systems, recognised worldwide to meet highest sanitary standards.
