Decree No. 925 of 9 May 2013 sets out the provisions relating to applications for registration and import licensing. The automatic licensing requirement (import registration) depends on whether the goods to be imported are subject to requirements, permits or prior authorizations on the part of other control bodies (environmental, sanitary, phytosanitary, animal health, etc.).
The processing of automatic licences does not restrict the quantity or value of imports. Its purpose is essentially to apply foreign trade policy, particularly aspects relating to customs, as well as health, security and environmental protection controls. |

Draft Resolution "establishing the conditions for the entry into the country of animals, plants and their products for which there are no sanitary and/or phytosanitary import requirements, and issuing other provisions".
The risk analysis process is a technical scientific procedure conducted in accordance with international standards to establish animal health or phytosanitary conditions or requirements for the entry of animals, plants and their products and to facilitate trade. It is therefore necessary to define and adopt new guidelines for the establishment of such requirements at the national level, which should address the current global uncertainty surrounding food insecurity, climate change and other global challenges for accessing new markets, be in line with the guidelines established by the World Trade Organization and the relevant international agreements, and take into account the technical rigour required for such processes. In light of the above, the draft Resolution, which seeks to establish the conditions for the entry into the country of animals, plants and their products for which there are no sanitary and/or phytosanitary import requirements, is being submitted. |
