Project Purpose
Intensify Dutch - Chinese bilateral co-operation in the field of:
- animal feed production;
- market access of animal feed;
- facilitation of bilateral trade.
Increase of the market access for the Dutch feed industry.
Project results
• increased awareness of Chinese stakeholders in the field of optimizing feed production (feed quality and feed safety);
• a report on the definitions of feed in China linked to the definitions in the EU and the situation in The Netherlands;
• a market access report on the relevant regulations, import duties and the necessary steps to transparently open up trade;
• establishment of regular expert exchange meetings to settle the bilateral issues in this area (in first: dedicated meetings, long term: standard topic in existing expert exchange meetings);
• the procedure to have the signing of different bilateral protocols (different types of feed) in future started. (signing the protocols as such is probably not possible to realize in the project duration as this procedure takes up to two years.)
