NEW EU HEALTH CERTIFICATES OBLIGATORY AS OF 1 JULY
The new EU health certificates are still used by only a few exporters. As of 1 July the old certificates are no longer valid and at that date the transitional period ends. We urge all our members to use the new certificates as the old forms will be rejected and shipments will probably be refused without the new certificates. For the proper certificates (as pdf, as word versions are not available), go to the Documents Archive in the OFI website (password protected).
*********
MINUTES OF THE AGM 2009
The minutes of the Annual General Meeting, held in room 303 of Suntec Singapore at 29 May 2009, have been drafted and are available from the OFI website(password protected). As always they will be on the agenda for approval at the next Annual Meeting, to be held in May 2010 in Nuremberg.
