“Under the audit results with regard to the Canadian pork and beef
producers, held by the State Service of Ukraine on Food
Safety and Consumer Protection (SPSA), 15 enterprises are allowed to supply
products to Ukraine. This applies to 3 enterprises producing beef and 12
enterprises producing pork”, Oleksii Pavlenko, the Minister of
Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, stressed.
The list of enterprises can be found at the SPSA’s official website –
vet.gov.ua in the Section “Enterprises that Passed Inspection”.
Ukraine has permitted the export of pork from any Canadian enterprise
registered on the federal level, fully complying with the certification
criteria. Following the successful completion of the inspection in September
2015, the number of companies that have been entitled to the rights to export
products to Ukraine has reached 27.
Currently, the process of adjustment and signing of a bilateral Annex to
the certificate is pending. The Annex would set the conditions for the
recognition of the food quality control system’s equivalence of Canada and
Ukraine. This process would allow the Canadian counterparts to certify their
enterprises for pork and beef export to Ukraine without holding checks at each
enterprise by Ukrainian inspectors.
At the same time, Ukraine under the international law reserves the right to
conduct random inspection visits at the facilities of importing companies.
