INDIA: Evolution and impact of EU regulation on the agenda at meeting with Indian exporters

INDIA: Evolution and impact of EU regulation on the agenda at meeting with Indian exporters.

Upcoming EU regulations and their implications for Indian Food & Agri Exports were the primary focus of a workshop organised in Antwerp on June 20 by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations with the support of the Belgian Embassy and COLEAD through its Agrinfo programme.

The workshop was part of a series of meetings between Indian, Belgian and Dutch food businesses seeking to expand EU-Indian trade in agrifood products.

Drawing on insights from the AGRINFO programme, COLEAD explained major regulatory trends that would impact short and long term exports and brought special attention to upcoming EU legislation on mineral oils which could present a challenge for major Indian export sectors such as coffee, food oils, rice, tea and spices. Around 70 delegates attended the event.
