The EU will issue a ban on importing fruit and vegetables from Vietnam if another five cases of regulations on food safety and plant quarantine are detected violation after January 15, according to the EU Commission’s Health and Consumers Department.
The department said since March, the EU has detected two cases of violations. If this happens again, Vietnam’s fruits and vegetables will lose ground in both EU and international markets.
As strict requirements may lead to a ban on Vietnam’s fruit and vegetables imports, the Plant Protection Department has stopped granting quarantine certificates to control the quality of exports to the demanding market.
