March 7, 2019 – The Government approved the Decision on quality requirements for milk and dairy products. It is a document aimed at harmonizing the national legislation with the Community legislation, thus providing a normative basis allowing the national producer to comply with unique international standards that will ensure access to international markets.

Some Moldovan factories already produce dairy products that comply with these unique international standards, but in the absence of a regulatory basis that complies with Community standards, the process of assessing and monitoring the safety and quality of the product cannot be started.

Now, the state has to ensure the work of the national laboratory – the Republican Diagnostic Veterinary Center under ANSA – which can confirm whether Moldovan dairy products are in line with international standards. And based on these analyzes, international institutions such as the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG Sante) can decide whether our products can adhere to foreign markets.
In 2018, this subject was addressed by the Economic Council, which ensured a communication between the business community and public authorities to ensure a better understanding of the importance of the document by all actors in the field, allowing more intense promotion of a project.
