New Delhi: India plans to leverage a new case filed by South Africa challenging the strict food safety regulations imposed by the European Union (EU) on citrus fruit to also call for relaxations in standards that currently hinder a whole range of Indian food exports, two people aware of the development said.
The EU’s stringent safety norms have significantly limited India’s exports of chilies, tea, basmati rice, milk, poultry, bovine meat, fish, and chemicals.
