Yes, in order to export to Canada, we have to meet the Canadian requirements, obviously. In those cases, particularly in the microbiological area, for instance, microbiological contamination is an area of huge concern to Canada and also to the EU, but definitely to Canada. For instance, that's a field where we have to take extra measures, where our industries have to take extra measures, to be able to comply with the Canadian requirements and to be able to enter your markets.
It's what I said before: we are not at that stage yet—and we hope we can soon get there—where any EU country has access to Canada. In the current situation, there are still member states that do not have access at all for certain products. For us, that's very difficult to accept because, indeed, we have one single market and one single set of harmonized rules.
For us it's important that any EU member state has access, but then, of course, only after meeting Canadian standards. To that end, CFIA visits our countries and sees whether the industries and the authorities are indeed able to comply with Canada's requirements. If not, they issue recommendations, and these recommendations have to be followed up on.
Definitely our industry has to invest to be able to access Canada, but those who are happy to do so indeed should be able to do so.
