The Director of the Veterinary Office of B&H Ljubomir Kalaba said that the meeting of the relevant section of the European Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health is announced for Wednesday, September 9th, in Brussels, when the problem of the export of milk from B&H might be resolved.
Kalaba stated that the, at that meeting, the decision is reached by simple majority and that no one has the right to veto.
“We are hoping that the outcome of that meeting will be positive for B&H, since it won’t be necessary to publish that decision, but the earlier approved list of dairies in B&H that can export their products to the EU will automatically be back on power”, Kalaba pointed out.
The export of dairy products from B&H to the EU should have started on August 26th, but the Veterinary Office was notified that one member of the EU appealed and that the export was stopped. It turned out that Croatia filed an appeal which said that the relevant inspection should once again visit the approved dairies before the beginning of export.
The dairies that have been given the green light for the export to the EU are Meggle Bihac, Milkos, Livno, and Mlijekoprodukt.
