EAEU countries need unified electronic traceability system for agricultural products - Rosselkhoznadzor head The countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) need to integrate control mechanisms and create a unified electronic traceability system for agricultural products "from field to counter," the head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) Sergei Dankvert said at the 11th International Dairy Business Forum of the EAEU on Tuesday in Sochi."Currently, the development of a traceability system is a necessary measure for market stability, improving the quality and safety of products," Dankvert said.Meanwhile, traceability has only been partially implemented, he said. For example, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Armenia do not have such systems. "Requirements for their implementation have been in place for about eight years, but so far remain unfulfilled, with the exception of Belarus," he said."In order for this problem to be discussed within the entire Eurasian community, it is advisable to hold meetings in the format of regulatory and legal regulation," he said.Rosselkhoznadzor introduced the Veterinary Information System (FGIS VetIS) in 2017 to ensure the traceability of controlled livestock products. In the field of plant quarantine, the FGIS Argus-Phyto is in operation. (ICE ALMATY)
