Libya beef ban lift imminent
He said the next step would be to agree veterinary health certificates with the Libyan authorities, which will set out conditions under which export of Irish beef could take place. He hoped these will be agreed soon.
Mr Coveney said, âThis is a very exciting time for Irish agriculture and food.
âMy visit to China last week was tangible evidence of the fact that there is unlimited potential in the global market place for Irish food exports.
âWe are seen globally as a serious producer of high quality food and as a centre of excellence in terms of food safety, sustainable production systems, animal breeding and genetics. I remain committed to working to ensure that Irish producers have access to as many world markets as possible.
âWith this in mind, my department will continue to work closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Bord Bia to develop and expand our agri food exportsâ.
