Ukraine: Ukrainian Draft Order Rescinds EU Equivalency

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   UP2022-0002

The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine published a draft order which, if passed, establishes a general framework for food safety system equivalency determination. As a part of this framework, Ukraine plans to cancel the Ukraine-EU equivalency status for products of animal origin, which was established in April 2014. This move may result in market access restriction for third country suppliers of products of animal origin which rely on EU approval for their access to Ukrainian market.
