U.S. Pork Shipment Requirements Now Set To Change In July 2006

As a result of more than two months of effort, USDA finally received an official letter from the Veterinary Authority of Romania stating the Order 53/2005 will be delayed until July 1, 2006. Therefore, the current health certificate can be used for U.S. pork shipments with a bill of lading date on or before July 1, 2006. Shipments with bill of lading dates on or after July 2, 2006 must be certified with revised certification that indicates compliance with European Union requirements.

The Foreign Agricultural Service of USDA is seeking a delay in implementation of this regulation until Romania becomes an EU member. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

Also, all federally inspected U.S. plants are eligible to export to Romania at this time. However, effective July 2, 2006, only EU-eligible pork from EU-approved U.S. pork establishments will be eligible for export to Romania.
