The countries with which export health certificates are agreed for beef, pigmeat and sheepmeat are shown in the following table and a number of other countries also accept Irish meat exports on the basis of general meat export certificates. The conditions for the exports of these products vary from country to country. There would be insufficient space in the table to provide the specific country detail of the conditions in the health certificate. The Department usually issues a Trader Notice when details of a new agreement are finalised. These trader notices are published on the Department website. Work is under way at present on a centralised website that will provide more detailed information for all the certificates, which will be of benefit to all stakeholders.
