Plant Approval Eased With Removal Of Requirements
U.S. exporters sending product to the European Union should note the removal of several requirements, easing the plant-approval process. Requirements related to packaging material, wall and floor junctions, wooden pallets, separation of lavatories and work areas, dry storage of non-food material, waste water, separate storage of edible and inedible products, separate storage of packaged and unpackaged products, structural wood, use of suspended showers/sprays/hoses, sterilization of utensils/implements, stunning, batch condemnation, casings facilities and employee medical certification have been removed. Water testing requirements were removed at an earlier date.
Products intended for ships’ stores are eligible for the European Union from any federally inspected establishment. Product must be destined to an authorized bonded storage point. Obtain the appropriate EU transit certificate identified in the Documentation – Required Certificates, Transit Certificates section.
For ships’ stores, in addition to the appropriate transit certificate, “Product consigned to ships’ stores” must be included in the “Remarks” section of FSIS Form 9060-5.
For more information, see Export Requirements for the European Union in the FSIS Export Library.
