Spain wants to access the Japanese beef market
Spain wants to access the Japanese beef market and is hoping to achieve this very soon. The Spanish meat levy body, ANAFRIC had a meeting with the vice minister of international affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture of Japan to address the issue of Spanish beef exports to Japan.
This meeting took place within the framework of the annual General Assembly of the UECBV (European Union of Livestock and Meat Trade), which was held in Brussels and which includes the national federations representing the sectors of live and meat trade of the bovine, equine, sheep and swine species, as well as those of the meat industries (slaughterhouses and cutting plants), informs CdeComunicacion website.
During this meeting, representatives of ANAFRIC tressed the importance of the visit made this week by a group of inspectors from the Japanese authorities in order to standardize the protocol of the pre-list system, by which the Japanese authorities delegate to the Spanish authorities the authority to authorize companies to export and establish the list of establishments authorized to export beef to Japan.
Also, Antonio Jove, one of the members that participated at the meeting considers that "it is of enormous importance for the sector to be able to open the Japanese market to our beef, especially because Japan does not recognize the European Union as a single market for meat and, therefore, the trade in meat products is regulated through bilateral agreements".
