Business requests optimization of controls by ANSA inspectors at the border

June 5, 2020 – This requires amending several provisions of the regulation on the procedure of crossing state border of goods subject to control by the National Food Safety Agency, approved by the Government on October 17, 2018. These amendments relate to procedures for carrying out border control of food of non-animal origin.

ANSA inspectors are currently carrying out a 100% control of consignments of food of this type, as they do not apply the risk management system which provides that only products presenting an increased risk should be subject to verification. Moldovan business requires reduction of the control rate, from 100% to 10%, as in the EU states. The subject was discussed at an online meeting, on 5 June 2020, on the platform of the Economic Council.

The aim of these changes is to eliminate artificial obstacles in the activity of business, to streamline border traffic and ensure the harmlessness of non-animal products imported into the country, the participants said. ANSA jointly with representatives of the relevant ministry should consider the proposals of the business community to amendments to the regulation on the procedure of crossing the state border of goods subject to control by ANSA.

The document will then be submitted for public debates, after which it will be submitted to the government for approval.
