Production & Trade Regulations
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.

European Union legislation has also been introduced at sector level, with some specific rules for certain foodstuffs, either because of their particular nature or because they demand special regulation owing to strategic interests, as in the case of cereals. In many cases, the rules refer to the control of imported foodstuffs into the European Union, with contingency plans drawn up to regulate the entry of food products from third countries.
