17-July-2019 – The EU Will Stop Importing Certain Fruits from Canada Over New Pest-Related Import Requirements
The European Union has decided to stop importing several Canadian fruits, including cherries, apples, cranberries, blueberries, pears, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes, as the region is enforcing new pest-related import requirements. In other words, the EU is tightening its requirements for imported fruits from Canada as the country no longer meets its pest-related standards. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said that they are working with the industry on pest mitigation measures so that exports can resume again. This shows just how rampant the pest problem in Canada has become and how urgently we need to take measures to control the issue.
