Food Import & Export
The rules for import and export are monitored by the European Union, which has set up a generic regulatory corpus for all aspects related to foreign trade of food products. These specific rules deal with inspection and labelling, through agreements with third countries for mutual recognition of these aspects. The EU has also created a series of special regulations for some foods because of their particular characteristics.
