Polish food producers say CETA will be advantageous

Polish food products are considered to be premium quality on foreign markets, and Polish producers will benefit from free trade between the EU and Canada, says Andrzej Gantner, director of the Polish Federation of Food Producers.
Ganter believes that thanks to CETA, producers from EU countries, including Poland, have a chance to enter a large market with many well-off consumers. In his opinion, fears that Canadian GMO food will inundate Poland are exaggerated.
“The agreement does not in anyway compromise food safety in the EU. In order for Canada to export anything to the Polish market, it must meet European requirements, including providing information on the presence of GMO,” Ganter said during the 9th Food Market and Retail Forum in Warsaw.
