In addition, since July 1, the country has eliminated hygienic certificates issued to enterprises in the country.
"Goods coming from abroad, like locally produced goods, will be registered with the APB with the issuance of a safety certificate. This corresponds to an international convention in this field," Tahmazli said.
The APB was established in February 2017. It is designed to ensure regulation of food safety (development and approval of sanitary norms and regulations, as well as hygienic standards), as well as risk analysis, hygienic certification, issuance of quality certificates of products exported to foreign countries, etc.
