Deepening Bilateral Ties: The EU and Singapore further facilitate exports of meat and egg products from the EU to Singapore
In the event of an outbreak of the aforesaid animal diseases in the EU, Singapore will recognise and apply EU regionalisation measures avoiding country-wide restrictions and unnecessary trade disruptions. The EU will continue to ensure the highest food safety standards for exports of meat and
egg products to Singapore.
In a further boost to trade, both sides agreed to allow raw materials used in manufacturing of meat and egg products to be sourced from any EU Member State approved by Singapore, amending the current requirements that animals and their derived products must be born and raised in the same single EU Member State. This arrangement will further facilitate trade, allowing intra-EU supply chains of meat, eggs and their products for export to Singapore.
As part of ongoing reviews of EU Member State export applications, Singapore has approved Greece, Lithuania and Latvia as new import sources for meat, eggs and their products. With these new approvals, 18 EU Member States are now authorised to export meat and egg products to Singapore.
