Ukraine and Algeria have agreed on the formats of veterinary certificates, opening three new export markets for cattle to the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria. The announcement was reported State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
The decision is the result of joint efforts by the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Ukrainian diplomatic missions, and профиль ministries in cooperation with the Veterinary Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries of Algeria.
The following documents were agreed upon:
-
veterinary health certificate form for the export of beef cattle to Algeria;

“The opening of three new export channels for cattle to Algeria is an important outcome of the systematic work of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
