| Summary: | This report presents a comparative
analysis of the food legislation requirements of the
European Union (EU) and the Customs Union. Its purpose is to
guide food business operators and public authorities engaged
in reforming national food safety systems in the
peculiarities of EU and Customs Union legal requirements and
help them evaluate their capabilities in meeting those
requirements. This report supports the International Finance
Corporation’s efforts to facilitate the opening of new
markets for the producers in emerging markets. This report

the EU and the Customs Union, such as: requirements and
arrangements of food control; requirements to food quality;
requirements to food labeling; food and food-related
articles and materials that require special authorization;
and laboratory control and food safety criteria. Ensuring
food safety and consumer protection increasingly occupy the
agendas of governments, which are looking to expand their
trade networks. Likewise, food businesses interested in
widening their export range need to understand quality and
safety requirements in their target markets. This report
offers unique, up-to-date information on the similarities
and differences of the food safety requirements of the EU
and Customs Union, with detailed assessments of the
