Israel accepts Polish beef
12:34
Israel has approved Poland's supervision of beef cattle breeding and slaughter, thus lifting the ban for the Polish meat exports to the country, the Polish Ministry of the Agriculture informed.
"On August 10-13, a group of Israeli inspectors visited Polish beef meat production plants to evaluate their compliance with Israeli requirements and Poland's veterinary supervision," a press release read. Consequently, the inspectors issued export permissions for three, i.e. all the inspected Polish firms.
Poland used to export beef to Israel, however the sales were suspended in December when Poland’s Constitutional Court overturned an earlier ban on the ritual slaughter of animals noting it was not in line with the country’s constitution.
