IMPORTATION OF FROZEN / FRESH MEATS

Further to previous Press Release regarding the prohibition of imports from the European Community States, the Director of Veterinary Services informs importers that frozen/fresh meats of bovine, ovine and swine species can now be imported from EU member states other than UK, Holland, Ireland and France. The meats imported must be accompanied by a health certificate that includes a statement that the meats originated from animals slaughtered after 4th June 2001 and that animals originated from the exporting country.
