According to Senasa, the European Union reported last week. through CACE Note 563/2020, that it considers Argentine meats to have a reliable control system for beef and sheep exports.

“We are very pleased, since the auditors assessed the knowledge of Senasa’s staff regarding EU standards, which reinforces and ensures that controls are in accordance with these requirements in establishments that produce beef and sheep,” explained Gustavo Soto Kruse, director of Animal Products at Senasa.

The audit carried out by European experts concluded that the established official control system is “well designed and correctly implemented”. The established system provides an adequate basis to support the “reliability of the certificates contained in the export certificates” for this destination.
