Notice No. 28 dated 2nd August 2002
Whereas
the European Commission (EC) has
instructed its member countries to introduce checking operations with regard to
import of fresh fruits and vegetables at their respective points of entry and,
whereas the European Commission shall allow in the normal course the entry of
such commodities if the checks have been carried out in the exporting country
and, all relevant information is provided to them in this regard, and whereas
APEDA has moved the Commission to facilitate putting in place a system of
pre-export inspection and certification in India, so that Indian exports on
arrival at destination are not denied entry.
2.
Therefore to facilitate exports, in exercise of the powers conferred
under para 2.4 of the Export and Import Policy, 2002-2007, the Director General
of Foreign Trade hereby lays down, that all the fresh fruits and vegetables
exported to European Union may be inspected and certified by the Directorate of
Marketing and Inspection, Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry
