ASF: South Korea recognizes EU regionalization measures

The Republic of Korea recognizes the strict regionalization measures adopted by the EU to combat outbreaks of African swine fever.

Thanks to intensive high-level engagement between the European Commission and the Republic of Korea, EU countries can now more easily export pork and poultry to the Republic of Korea.

The Republic of Korea's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) has decided to lift a trade barrier that has long affected European exports of pork and poultry products, as the Republic of Korea now recognizes the strict regionalization measures adopted by the EU to combat outbreaks of African swine fever and highly pathogenic avian influenza. This decision could unlock more than €1 billion in trade over the next few years.

The decision benefits 11 EU countries that have been allowed to export poultry and poultry products to the Republic of Korea, namely Germany, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, France, Finland, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Lithuania; and 14 Member States authorized to export pork and pork products: Germany, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, France, Finland, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Slovakia, Austria, Ireland and Portugal.
