Colombia: 100 private sector representatives mobilised to better understand EU regulatory changes

Colombia: 100 private sector representatives mobilised to better understand EU regulatory changes

On 24 September, COLEAD, in collaboration with PROCOLOMBIA, a government agency linked to the Colombian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism, presented the AGRINFO programme to around 100 participants from the Colombian agrifood sector. These representatives of exporting companies in the agricultural sector were given full details of this EU-funded programme, which provides partner beneficiaries with continuously updated information on EU regulatory changes affecting the agricultural sector in partner countries. This programme and its freely available tools are essential for any exporter of agricultural products to the EU. They enable them to keep abreast of and anticipate changes that are likely to affect their business and day-to-day operations.

As a reminder, the AGRINFO programme was set up to support the EU’s partner countries (listed as low-income, lower-middle income and upper-middle-income economies in the Development Assistance Committee List of ODA Recipients of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)), understand and anticipate the impact of changing EU regulations on their agrifood exports to the European market. In practice, AGRINFO provides EU trading partners with clear summaries of the “what, why and when” of recent and forthcoming changes, as well as the actions needed to adapt to new EU regulations.
