The Ministry of Agriculture and Haiti have signed a joint resolution for regulating the poultry trade between both countries under a pre-established procedure. The signing of the resolution was agreed upon during the second meeting of the High-Level Bi-national Commission that met in Jimani on 3 February. The agreement was signed by Luis Ramon Rodriguez Pena and Thomas Jacques, ministers of agriculture for the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The resolution lifts the sanitary ban on Dominican poultry produce and certifies Dominican producers that have been inspected by Haitian veterinary services according to the approved procedures. Only these companies are certified to export to Haiti.
The parties agreed to set up a specialist committee that will also include the IICA, USDA and APJIS representatives in both countries to review and supervise the application of the resolutions of the procedure and technical exchanges in several areas.
