European Farmers Back Poultry Import Reform With Strict Conditions

European farmers, 2 Oct 2025

Copa-Cogeca supports allowing supply contracts as proof of origin but demands robust safeguards. They want standard templates, risk-based audits, clear sanctions for misdeclared origin, and traceability requirements. They request the Commission monitor market effects for 12 months and retain exclusive EU control over quota management.

This would improve their access to tariff quotas and reduce discriminatory practices by third countries.

Third-country exporters face stricter controls and lose ability to manage quotas through national systems.

EU Poultry Industry Welcomes Supply Contracts as Proof of Origin

Association de l'Aviculture, de l'Industrie et du Commerce de Volailles dans les Pays de l'Union Europeenne asbl, 29 Sept 2025

The association requests extending supply contracts as proof of origin to all poultry tariff rate quotas, not just those currently proposed. They want the EU to maintain exclusive control over quota management and prevent third countries from implementing parallel allocation mechanisms.

This would give them fairer access to import quotas and reduce competitive distortions.

Brazilian and other third-country exporters lose control over allocating EU market access.

EU meat industry welcomes end to Brazilian certificate of origin restrictions

Union Européenne du Commerce du Bétail et des Métiers de la Viande, 29 Sept 2025

The industry supports replacing certificates of origin with supply contracts for poultry import quotas. They request faster implementation to apply for 2026 instead of 2027, and want similar protections extended to other import quotas being abused by third countries.

This would eliminate artificial trade restrictions that harm EU businesses and consumers economically.

Brazilian certificate issuers lose their ability to restrict EU market access through administrative control.

La proposition de remplacer le certificat dorigine par un simple contrat de fourniture pour les contingents tarifaires 09.4410 et 09.4420 soulève plusieurs problèmes. Elle facilite les importations de volailles étrangères en réduisant le niveau de contrôle. Le certificat dorigine constituait une…
