Abstract

The aim pursued by the Agreement is to facilitate the export of live animals and frozen meat from Mexico into the Italian territory. Cattle and frozen meat to be imported from Mexico into Italy must be accompanied by health certificates issued at the time of their dispatch exclusively by official veterinarians under the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. The certificates, which shall be drafted in accordance with the specimens I and II annexed to this Agreement, must contain full indications on the origin and health conditions of the animals and the meat. Furthermore, frozen beef and veal from Mexico may be imported into the territory of Italy only if it comes from slaughterhouses equipped with freezing and cutting facilities approved. Article 3 lays down cutting and packaging standards for consignment of frozen beef and veal.
