The EU Export Compliance Certificate confirms Vasilyevskaya's compliance to the strict veterinary and sanitary requirements of the EU. This certificate is also recognised by many countries outside the EU, such as Serbia, Macedonia, Georgia and South Africa.

As a result of receiving this certification, the company is now a member of the European Commission's Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES), which is an online management tool for all sanitary requirements on intra-EU trade.

The European market is one of our priorities and we are already in active negotiations with potential partners on dispatching a pilot batch of poultry products. With this certification, Cherkizovo Group is now well-positioned to capture growth opportunities in the broad European market. The exceptional quality and biological safety of our products lead the way on the domestic market and our goal is to position our products competitively in the EU.'
