On June 15, following multiple requests from EBA and other business organisations, a meeting of the Economic Council to the Prime Minister took place. The meeting was presided by the Prime Minister of Republic of Moldova and was focused on ANSA (National Food Safety Agency) issues faced by the business community.
Among the topics that were touched upon in the meeting were the double certification for products of animal origin imported in the Republic of Moldova, the issue of returns of perishable goods from the retail chain back to the processors, and animal waste processing mechanisms and systems existing in Moldova.
EBA reiterates the openness and readiness expressed by the Prim Minister and ANSA to address the issues indicated over the meeting but also other issues which the private sector is facing. In order to address these issues in a constructive manner, several technical meetings will take place in the nearest future.
